You're welcome, George. Glad to help.

But I'm somewhat confused. First, you replied to this message
with the web interface, as you did before, not with Outlook
Express. Is it just that you haven't fully converted to Outlook
Express's use yet?

Second, you say "need to work on." Note that you can use Edit |
Find to search for particular messages, and you can also sort by
any column shown, such as Subject, in the same way as I explained
below about Date. Either or both of those techniques should help
you find what you're looking for.

Finally, if you want to search older messages, the tool to use is
Google Groups, at
