Thanks Juan, I actually can do this since I''m on maildir but this will
be quite a bit of work since the filenames don''t tell me much about the
message. So I''d have to manually open each found file, see what
it''s
about and then find the thread in sup. I kind of hoped I could search
from within sup, just like you can search for messages from certain date
range.
But thanks for the idea anyway, I''ll do it if I''m really
pressed for
space.
