[mso] Outlook FIND in FROM field question

  • From: "James Chapman" <Statdesign@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • To: "MSO-LIST" <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Sometimes I want to gather in one view all of those messages that reside in
my MSO-IN folder that are coming from (posted by) say "Linda".
If I do a FIND on "Linda" I frequently  get nothing (unless) "Linda" appears
in the SUBJECT field. I have a clue as to why that happens.  What I see in
my FROM field is not actually "Linda". It is Linda's indicator name and does
not actually appear in the FROM address field.  It is something constructed
by the mail list software. What is actually in the field is the mail list
server address.  Is this correct?

My question is, How do I find messages posted by Linda using the Outlook
FIND?
