Build 2000-08-10-08M18: NT4, Linux 6.0, Mac 9.04

Overview: In a Plain New Message/Compose window use the "Find" function and it 
doesn't appear to work. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a Plain New Message/Compose window
2. Type some text (i.e. This is a test)
3. Place your cursor at the beginning of the sentence
4. Select Edit|Find and search for "is"

Actual Results: Notice that it doesn't highlight any "is" combinations when 
it should have found two. Select "Cancel" and the second "is" is highlighted. 
This leads me to believe that "Find" is working but it's using a highlight that 
is the same color as the background.

Expected Results: If "Find" has a match then the text should be highlighted in a 
different color from the message background.

Additional Information:
- This problem occurs in the Modern and Classic theme in Plain mode only.
- "Find" works:
  - in a HTML New Message/Compose window
  - in the main window's Message pane
  - in the Stand Alone window

Reassign to editor team. Editor takes care of the find function.

if the edit dialog is open, the find operation does not select the word, if the 
find dialog is closed and you use ctrl-G, the words are highlighted fine.

assigning to simon for debug, simon please reassign as necessary.

Tony, I'm giving this one to you. We need to show the selection in unfocussed 
plain text editors, and at the moment, you're hiding it.
