The poster's electronic address can be searched specifically
in the field called SENDER.  Nevertheless the person's name
can NOT be searched in that field.
 
Thus you could do the following kinds of search for my
posts to LSTSRV-L
 
S * IN LSTSRV-L SINCE 96 WHERE SENDER CONTAINS (pmw1 AND psu)
 
or you could do a more general search on my name
 
S weis AND pete IN LSTSRV-L SINCE 96
 
The former is more efficient but might not produce the
desired results if you did not know my userid.
 
Followup to ldbase-l please (you must be a subscribe to
post).
