Re: Mail Archiving/Backup

Indeed, it's there (though it's at the upper right in my version).  I guess I should have paid attention to the buttons as well as the menus.

It found them successfully, but the actual tag header line was not displayed, even with View / View Text selected (I'd never used that function before, and it isn't at all comprehensive. It seems to just turn off HTML, but it doesn't actually show the raw text of the mail, certainly not the header portion.)

I used the menu item that saved the raw text of the found messages to a text file, and the information was apparent:

I keep telling myself that I ought to upgrade to their top-end version at some point, so it will do real server/client searches on the central repository machine instead of sucking all the data over the network, but never seem to have the time to devote to conversion. I archive my mail on an annual basis cone January, and use it maybe once a quarter to answer questions such as, “When did I get my roof replaced and is it still in warranty?”
