Hi mcc,

What are you using for a pattern?

If I want to find pineapple anywhere in the message then I press 'T' and
then '~B pineapple'

There are lots of other '~' selectors.  I use ~f quite often to find
mail from a specific address.

If you want space you need to escape them or enclose the whole pattern
in quotes.
