Using the "Search Messages" item on the drop-down menu WILL retrieve
all messages with the specified Reference.
*HOWEVER* the list format of "Search Messages" can be inconvenient.

Does "Search Folder" solve this inconvenience?  You could thread/group
results as with any other mail folder.  Just use "Save as Search
Folder" button in the "Search Messages" dialog.


As I've said elsewhere, "*YES*. THANK YOU."
In fact it worked so well it suggested that more complex search specifications than the current GUI supports may be feasible.

Looking for details I found <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Saved_Search>.
It reports 'In your profile folder, the file that stores the settings for your Saved Search folders is called "virtualFolders.dat".'

However I found the search specification is also found in
<[profile folder]/Mail/[account]/[folder name].sdb/[search title].msf>.

Also there is an empty folder [the "virtual folder mentioned???] at
<[profile folder]/Mail/[account]/[folder name].sdb/[search title]>.

Where might I find a specification of the structure and content of "virtualFolders.dat" and "[search title].msf".

I figured I would ask first before attempting some reverse engineering.
TIA
