Just to clarify, because when I read Eric’s message I got the idea 
that Eric was thinking what I originally thought…Command-F while 
viewing the message in the Viewer Window.  However, there is a 
difference in how MM behaves if (a) the message is being viewed in the 
Viewer Window (in which case Command-F works as expected) versus (b) the 
message is in its own window (in which case Command-F does what Ravi has 
mentioned).
