input. Simply go to maps.google.com, type in your Uncle Bob's home
address in Toledo, click on the "Satellite" link toward the top right
corner of the page, use the zoom feature on the left side of the page,
and then check out his house!

kittens where you vote on your favorite feline. Hundreds of pictures of
kittens have been submitted. Check out the photo list of the top ten "winningest

Hard-To-Find E-mail Messages
Have you ever
tried to find an e-mail message in your inbox folder that was sent to
you months ago but you can't recall the name or e-mail address of the
sender? Plus, your search for key words that were possibly included in
the subject line of the message hasn't given you successful results.
Well, don't despair. You can also search for key words within the actual
message pane windows of e-mail messages located in your inbox folder
(and your other folders as well). Depending on how many messages are
stored in your inbox and how specific your key word search is, there's a
good chance of quickly finding the exact message that you're looking
for. See the step-by-step tutorials below.
Outlook Express 6.0 and Windows XP
- With Outlook Express
open, click your cursor arrow on your "Inbox."
- Click on the "File"
menu, drop down to "Find," and then select "Message" from the
submenu. The "Find Message" dialog box will now appear.
- Where it reads "Look
In," the location should say "Inbox." Make sure the box is checked
beside "Include subfolders."
- Look for the field
marked "Message" and type your keyword(s) into it. Those words will
be searched for in the body of your message. Remember, the more
words you put into that field, the narrower your search will be.
Click the "Find Now" button. The results will be shown in a frame at
the bottom of the window.
Mozilla's Thunderbird 1.0
on Windows XP:
- With Thunderbird open,
click your cursor arrow on your "Inbox."
- Click on the "Edit"
menu and drop down to "Find." Select "Search Messages" from the
resulting submenu. The "Search Messages" window will appear.
- Make sure it says
"Search for messages in: Inbox on Local Folders" and that "Search
Subfolders" is checked.
- Select "Match any of
the following."
- Locate the pane that
includes three fields. One will be called "Subject," one will be
called "contains," and the third field will be blank. Click on the
word "Subject" and a drop down menu will appear with other options.
Select "Body" from this list. Leave the field that says "contains"
as it is. In the blank field, type in your keyword(s). Remember, the
more words you put into the field, the narrower your search will be.
- Click the "Search"
button and the results will appear in the lower pane of the window.
Mail.app 1.3.9 on Macintosh
OS X
- In the search field on
your Mail.app tool bar, click on the letter Q with the downward
pointing triangle next to it.
- A drop-down menu will
appear with a number of options listed for either the mailbox you
are currently in or for all mailboxes. Select "Entire Message" and
type in your keyword(s).
- A list of messages
that include the keyword(s) you typed will appear in the message
list.
