Help for Author's Address
You can also restrict your search to messages posted by a particular person. If you know the email address of the person who wrote the message you are interested in, this can be a very effective way to find what you are looking for without having to go through dozens of unrelated messages. Note that you do not need to know the exact email address. For instance, if you know that the userid is "john" and the host name is some machine at XYZ.COM, you can simply enter john xyz.com in the search box. Since the author's email address is a single word, there is no concept of "close" vs. "distant," and the AND operator is redundant: john xyz.com and john AND xyz.com are equivalent.
Do not try to use wildcards (for example "john@*.xyz.com") because this is not the correct syntax. The author search box uses the same syntax as the "Subject Contains" and "String" boxes.
