Many thanks to Peter for this update of his search tool. All of the
boolean options are great and the option to put all results in a file is
useful.

Note that it searches the subject lines of all messages since the list
started in late 1992.  When the subject line reflects the content of the
message this works well.  This makes one more reason to consider subject
lines carefully when posting. Subject lines are never changed once posted.
The subject line is by far the most read part of email messages, it
warrants considerable care in composing.
