Advanced Find Problem
AndyH <andyh[ at ]triode.net.au> 12.09.2006 03:31:13
I need to do an advanced find on the From field. All senders I am
searching for are from the same domain (eg microsoft.com).
Some senders have a Display name and some don't.
eg
Bill [billg[ at ]microsoft.com] - Bill has a display name
torvald[ at ]microsoft.com - Torvald does not have a display name.

If I do a search on the From field containing "Microsoft.com" it finds
Torvald but not Bill
If I search for "Bill" it finds Bill.

This behaviour occurs on one of my computers. On another computer a
search for "Microsoft.com" finds both Torvald and Bill.

What setting on the first computer might cause a sender to be ignored
if he has a Display-Name.

use the from field on the first tab, not on the advanced tab.
