Subject: [sup-talk] searching for text in threads

i'm wondering how people handle searching for messages referencing a given
topic.  searching with "/" brings up a list of threads concerning it, but if
it's a thread from a mailing list with 50 messages and only one is about
what you need, how do you hunt down which of the 50 is the one you want?

in thread-view-mode, sup is effectively a pager.  in that mode, should "/"
search for and highlight text as any other pager would?

Absolutely. This is one more item on the desperately-needed list.
