INQUIRE
Allows you to scan the From:, To:, and Subject: fields of messages
for a particular series of characters or words. The fewer letters
you enter, the more likely you are to find what you're looking for.
Inquire allows use of "wildcard" characters as follows:
? : matches any single character; i.e. "Th?t" finds "This" & "That"
* : matches any number of instances of the same character; i.e.
"x*yz" finds "xyz","yz", and "xxyz"
+ : matches one or more instances of a single character; i.e.
"x+yz" finds "xyz" and "xxyz"
To find a LITERAL question mark, asterisk or plus sign, precede it
with a backslash, i.e. "\?", "\*", "\+"
