Frequently Asked Questions about MESSEAR
When I make a change, MESSEAR says I am not subscribed.
This usually occurs when you subscribed with a different version of your email address.
For example, if you subscribed using johndoe@aserver.hotmail.com, then you must use
that address not johndoe@hotmail.com. If
you do not remember what address you subscribed, it is listed at the top of each search
result message you receive.

Most email readers will let you search a message by pressing Ctrl-F or clicking on
binoculars in the toolbar.
