The case sensitivity appears to get in the way of searching. I also think that enabling the regular expression searching is a good idea. All in all though this is great. The only other idea I have, which is only half formed, is that it would be nice to prioritize emails that are more important than others. I'm not sure exactly how this would work but something like: - Addresses I have actualy sent email to rather than jjust received from get a high priority in the result. - Addresses that have sent me email directly rather than just to a list get next priority. - All other emails after that. Also some sort of weighting within the groups to do with frequency of emails sent or something. Does that make sense? Would it be hard to implement?
