Hey Tom,

I read the whole lot of documents including the JCL (job control language) info available from the list server itself, which was the most in-depth. It seems that the "// job" and "// EOJ" are not enough. You still need to add a comma at the end of line and other weird stuff. Still, it doesn't work...:-( Anyway, I tried the web search as per your recommendation and indeed it's a completely new world: quick and fast, and has a subject search just like I like it. The only drawback I can find is that you don't get those archived messages via email for offline reading. Very convenient for very large search results. So I might still try to break that email search barrier someday. BTW, the server upgrade really turbo-charged the archive searches, also via email. It's now lighning fast!

===== Cheers, TinkerMan
