And still no luck :-(  Still can't find an email sent to a [email protected] 
(there's only one email in the index for him, and I've never received 
one back).  Nor do searches for "user" or "host" come up with the right 
stuff.

I'm running 0.5.8 and have rebuilt the indexes on this version.  One 
thing I noticed while rebuilding was some stream exceptions with "no 
such message" (hazy recollection of the error, can rebuild if knowing 
accurate error message this would be helpful).  But the message is 
definitely in the index, because I can retrieve it using some other 
search terms..

On another (somewhat related) subject - is there any UI to:

- browse through the addresses/organisations that are known (other than 
finding someone in a domain and then navigating up?
- force the system to associate a certain email address with a person, 
where it has mistaken two email addresses belonging to the same person 
as two separate people?

Cheers,

Malcolm
