Hi!
Sorry for not providing enough info to start with.
I have pasted a header below (slightly modified for privacy).
I wanted to find all mails coming from the sender of this one.
I used "search from:Doe" and search "from:doe" and got only 3/4 of the expected hits (I
checked with Thunderbird). I then tried "search Doe" and "search doe",
this message was not found either. Using mutt when I applied a "limit Doe" or "limit doe",
the message was found.
Thanks for having a look!
