There are quite a few horrible spy ware apps that subtly intercept searches. One example is amazingautosearch which I had to remove from a PC last night. Get hold of a copy of spy bot and have a look at what's running on your machine
HTH Alan Mackechnie Thanks for help. It is interesting to note that ie 5 is detected as a spambot only when I try to access messages found via the search string. If I go directly to the list archive, I obtain messages without problems.
