You can try searching using a command window.
C:\(filepath to your folder)find "your search terms" "*.eml" | sort
An example would be:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktopfind "sending" "*.eml" |sort
would return a listing of all eml files on the Desktop containing the word
"sending" and no other words, but it would give the complete name of the
file you might be looking for.

Looking for a way, similar to "Find" (Ctrl./F), that will locate words
within an .eml message. Have several folders on the desktop where I store
("save-as") .eml messages, that I edit now and then. The difficulty is
locating a particular paragraph out of fifty or so, even though I know a
word or two in the paragraph.
Thanks, Bud (in Oceanside, Ca.)
