I don't recall seeing anything like this in the Ferret docs, so it's probably not possible. What I'm thinking of doing, which will kind of approximate this, is adding the LHS of the email address and the sender's name to the from: field at index time, so that email from you would match e.g. from:marcus, from:williams, and from:marcus-sup. -- William
