"0"><tbody><tr><td>Hello everybody,<br />After posting in Help and Feat=
ures forums, and some other problems with <br />jwma-list, I join to th=
is list to follow the postings...<br />As I said, I developed a first d=
raft for searching messages (get <br />messages matching a pattern). I =
don't have strong knowledge of <br />java/servlets/jsp, so I'm sure my =
code can be widely improved.<br />The fact is more or less I get search=
ing messages basing on <br />From/Subject/Body fields, but I'm not sure=
 the way of searching. I <br />mean, if I specified 2 or more fields, h=
ow should the search work? With <br />OR or with AND between the fields=
? For example, when you search a <br />message like this: <br />- From:=
 john <br />- Subject: holidays <br />- Body: empty (nothing written) <=
br />In this case, should you see only those messages with From field=3D=
 John <br />AND Subject field=3D holidays?=A0 <br />Or should you see t=
hose messages with From field=3D John and Subject <br />field=3D whatev=
er OR From field=3D whatever and Subject field=3D holidays OR <br />Fro=
m field=3D John and Subject field=3D holidays? <br /><br />To introduce=
 to the search engine, I use javax. mail.search package and <br />it pr=
ovides all mechanisms to do the search including the possibility <br />=
of doing logical operators between the fields...<br /><br />Another thi=
ngs is that I use Search mechanism inside the folder one is <br />in be=
cause at least for beginning this is easier, but as Leonard told <br />=
me this needs to be discussed...<br /><br />Of course, I share the code=
, but I'm sure that it doesn't measure up <br />to the rest of jwma pro=
ject....<br /><br />Thanks<br />Rgds,<br />Miriam<br /></td></tr></tbod=
