No, no drop down lists. Two listboxes (though I still question the second one, but methods are methods), and a search box.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sorry - I meant to say listboxes.
Another reason a listbox is useful is that sometimes the "from" address in an email will be slightly different from the profile email. e.g. maybe there's an added subdomain. Using a searchbox wouldn't give a match; If you used the listbox, you'd see the desired email near the one you thought you were looking for.

But the search doesn't have to be exact.
It's of no matter. I'm not the only one using it, so it doesn't have to cleave to my methods.

Depends on the browser, Robert. Not all allow [user stylesheets].
Well, sure, but some browsers ignore stylesheets altogether.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Are you all playing with the style sheet right now? All of the sudden, My view of this page seemed to change. The text in the box is no longer courier, and the thread titles are just the same size as everything else, as are the upper right hand quotes. It looks almost like changing to 'user' mode in Opera, but I am in Safari and I didn't change anything.

OK-- as soon as I posted it went back to normal.

Question. And let me note that I feel all my questions must be preceded by groveling in the presence of those who built this lovely board. So, groveling now.
OK, done.
What I wanted to ask is this: I know the search function is still in beta, but will it eventually enable us to search the archives as well? Or is it supposed to be doing that already? 'Cause it's not.
