-Thunderbird- I have used message filters extensively but wanted to get into more sophisticated filtering by searching for specific content in the body of an email after finding a specifc "Subject".

Under the "Match...." section, is there a way to add search inside the body of an email? I dont understand the CUSTOM choice where you can add an additional one with a name but no indication of what it is actually going to search.

Is the lack of search the "Body" correctable or is it something that has to be added to teh software?

If so, please direct me to the suggestion box.

Thanks, Loyal Thunderbird fan.

Body doesn't appear in the filter drop-down (with Subject, From, Date etc.) if the account is set to download headers only. In the Sync. & Storage section of Account Settings, 'Keep messages ...' must be checked.
