It doesn't seem to allow an OR function in the search, but you can dealwith that with multiple searches. You do your search, add them, and thenclick the "all contacts" tab, and the full list is displayed, with theselected contacts checked. then just do another search, click the all asbefore, click "all contacts" again, and you'll see both sets highlighted.(And of course along the way you can selectively unhighlight any.)*In Eudora if I had a person on three different mailing lists and selectedthem all, he would be on this list twice (and get two copies of theemail--very annoying to him). This system allows me to put a person on asmany lists as I want, and makes sure he only gets the msg once. *2. You can also use this multiple searching to simulate a NOT function.e.g., I have a bunch of people marked friend and several marked journalists.When I want a message to include only friends who are not journalists, Ijust do the friend search first, and click all the mark them. Then I go backto "all contacts," search on journalists and the list of journalists comeup, with the ones who are also friends highlighted. I click none, and theyare all highlighted. Now when I go back to "all contacts" only the friendswho are not journalists are highlighted.</blockquote>
