    listing to hunt for one I especially want to use for a
    message.

    No S)earch function in MM? I don't think I could work without
    being able to hunt for a word or two when I need to track down a
    specific message.


    I probably won't get MM updated real soon, tell me if MM
    Win can find a Tagline as well as OLX.SLMR can?

    Sorry, I can't. I use Thunderbird (messages via NNTP), and now even
    the Telegram option for a few fidonet echos. Both methods have FULL
    search capabilities.

    I use MM DOS and WIN Search function to find words or phrases in messages
    using the / Key.
    MM Search even works from the QWK Packet screen to search through what is in the packets.

    When it finds the search word/phrase pressing the . Key continues the search.

    The ESC Key is used to stop the search if You've found what You were looking for and don't want the search to continue until it finishs.

    the Telegram option for a few fidonet echos. Both methods have FULL search capabilities.

    I only use Mozilla TB to grab Email off of the Web Mail page.

    Someone in the Windows echo, years ago mentioned they had a NNTP BBS and I Logged on it once or twice to try it out.

    I get (and put) BBS packets using a Batch File (that has a FTP Script)
    from a Command Prompt Line. Works for Me.

    I made a mistake in my previous message.
