I know it's a lot of messages, so is there a way to just display > the 13 that match? Or to limit the total number of messages displayed? I think opening the thread with C-U RET instead of RET does exactly that, i.e. only shows the matching messages. In less extreme cases, using tree view (ALT-RET) may be an option since it does not have to format the contents of the entire thread. I have a vague recollection that someone pointed out that it is the indentation that takes most of the time and that turning off indentation speeds up the display of huge threads. /=C3=96rjan
