trying to understand queries

Now that I've got things up and running smoothly, I've started feeling
my way around actually *using* Zoe. Some things are fairly intuitive
(like the context based search), however others are not.

For instance, I am trying to figure out how to pull up all of the
messages pertaining to a specific mailing list. The mailing list itself
was registered as a list, and when it appears under the list sidebar, I
note that clicking on it returns all of the list messages for the
current day. I can change the date in the URL to retrieve list messages
from a different day. However, I have been unable to figure out how to
return all of the messages for a given month, a given year, or all
messages in the archive. 

I've been reading

	http://zoe.omara.ca/index.php?page=Searching

Which directed me to a primer on Lucene search. It also lists available
keys. Do these keys translate into Lucene fields? I expected to be able
to seach like so 

	list:"List Name"

but this returns nothing. 

I can do a general search for the list name, but of course this is
sloppy, and returns more than I want. 

I also took a look at the links to provided to relevant threads in the
gmane archives. Unfortunately, the responses there focus entirely on
what *doesn't* work for restricted searches, not what *does* work.

If somebody could post an example of how to use any of the available
keys in a search (it doesn't even have to be 'list'), that would be
great! The list of available keys looks fairly thorough, so if I can
just figure out how to exploit them I'll be well on my way :)

Also, I have a mail list archive which has some wacked headers. Some
messages are still being appropriately tagged as being ML mail in Zoe,
but some aren't. I understand the
alt.dev.szmail.SZMail$ListFilter?.properties filter will fix this for
new messages to be processed. Is there any easy why to fix messages
which have already been imported into Zoe? Or would I need to delete and
re-import all of those messages?


TIA,

Steph
