Subject: [mso] Outlook FIND in FROM field question



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?

Jim
