Re: Searching multiple mailboxes?

Quoting a friend (I can't take personal credit, if any is due):
"You can have Pine search and flag folders when you are at the Folder 
List level.  Just press the semi-colon key, followed by T for text, 
followed by C for folder contents.  Pine will flag any folders where it 
finds the search string.  Unfortunately it doesn't go down into the 
folders and flag the individual messages.

This definitely works when using Pine in direct-access mode, IMAP (and
therefore Maildir) access seems a little flakey for searches."

FYI,
