Hmmm... this sounds like an existing bug with Custom headers -- are you doing a
"doesn't contain" kind of search on that header?  I think we have a bug about it
not verifying the header actually exists, so that if it doesn't find headerN it
returns as if the header doesn't contain said string.

1. I'm not sure how this got in here without my steps tp reproduce.
2. I am no longer able to reproduce this. You can mark this as fixed as far as I
am concerned.

Just did a test of this against borland.public.delphi.language.objectpascal
for "X-Newsreader:" 

and it DID return every message. This text does not show in any of the messages,
however when you look in the mail file
(borland.public.delphi.language.objectpascal) then it does contain this.

I suppose my question is should we be allowing the users to search through the
hidden messge information as well??

The 'hidden' info is there - why should we not be able to search it? recommen

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
