I would appreciate it if the limitations of id: search were explained there too. I have some rules that I would love to make based on pattern matching the message-id of the message, because I have a tool that generates scads of email and I want to be able to delete a lot of it. I think that id: is only matchable as an entire string, and a confirmation of that would be nice to see. For those who cringe when hearing the mention of _deletion_ of emails, do you have a suggestion for how many copies of bugs in the bug database I should store in my mail repository? Note that IT only gives me a couple gigabytes of home directory storage, and I don't have an SSD Linux laptop, so the index does eventually slow down. In other words, there are plenty of emails I love to forget ever having received. :) -Mark
