[MlMt] What is the fastest way to search for a message and find a thread?

[Pat Maddox]

Okay I worked something out... the problem was that I had been 
initiating my search from Inbox, which would show me the thread, but 
when I escaped the search criteria it would disappear.

But if I initiate the search from All Messages, the search will filter 
so it shows only those messages, but when I escape the search criteria 
then I see the whole thread.

That works for me :)

Thank you to everyone who responded for your assistance and patience.

Pat
