Subject: correct way to search for only PDF attachments
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:55:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJhTkNgwX8cmsKfJGV+x7HHMXPNZvXFXO=KZzLvrcWCGrDL=Pg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I would look to look for all emails from a colleague jongho. I tried:
from:jongho attachment:pdf
which seems to do as I wanted.
To understand more, what does the following search for?
from:jongho attachment:.*pdf
I know it is incorrect as the results tell me, but what exactly does it do?
Also, how does the first one above know that I want only PDF
attachments and not an attachment called "pdformula.txt" ?
Kind regards,
Xu
