Even with Moptions, you can put into the "Text:" line

(AAA|BBB|CCC)

and click on "Search text also in attributes". This is a valid regular
expression with searches for AAA or BBB or CCC. Unfortunately you still can
mistype the values. If I would add check boxes in the find page, it would not
be clear if one searches for an "AND" of several values or an "OR" (Most people
would probably think that they want an "AND" because this happens if they
restrict several attributes).

I fixed that bug just now, thanks for reporting it. It's available in revision
1.535 under CVS.

"Find menu commands" apply to the LIST of entries, while "Menu commands" apply
to the page where a SINGLE entry is shown. I know that "Find menu commands" is
a misleading name, but it's historical, I should change it to "Menu commands"
and change the other to "Entry menu commands", does that make more sense?

I added at least the date and message ID to the CSV export. New version under CVS.

The XML export contains both the Entry Date and Text fields. In CSV format,
it's hard to export the Text field since it can span several lines, which would
break the CSV format (one line per entry). Or do you know how multi-line
entries can be encoded in CSV?

I can export the Attributes I define easily and the Subject. Can't seem to 
export the Entry Date and the Text fields.

Help.

Have tried to use "Menu commands =" to list menu commands available as per:
"Menu commands = List, Back, New, Edit, Delete, Find, Config, HELP, Logout"

but it does not seem to work; with command above I get default menu 
structure.

Using:
"Find Menu commands = List, Back, New, Edit, Find, Delete, Config, Logout, 
HELP"

I get the menu I want.
Q what's the difference?????
