- "@changed" will be inserted at the top of the message.

- *B 3004,Go To Next Area

- be able to change the header data. A template-defined message is inserted at
- the top of the message.
- *E

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- *B 3006,Find String
-
- You can enter several strings, separated by the '|' search string separator
- character like this:
-
- Odinn|GoldED
-
- By default, GoldED searches forward (next messages), but by preceeding the
- search string with a '-', the search goes backwards (previous messages).
-
- Besides the backward search, there are a number of other search command
- characters. Here is the complete list:
-
- - Search backward.
- + Search forward. (Just for completeness).
- < Search the From: field.
- > Search the To: field.
- : Search the Subj: field.
- = Case-sensitive search.
- ! Reverse - Stop/mark when the search string(s) are NOT found.
- *P
-
- By default the '<', '>' and ':' search commands are enabled, so that GoldED
- searches all header fields. However, when one of these options are actually
- used, the search is limited to those only.
-
- Examples:
-
- <Odinn Searches in the From: field only.
- <>Odinn Searches in From: and To:, but not Subj:.
- :tagline Search for "tagline" in the Subj: field only.
-
- The search command characters are stripped before the search is started. If
- you need to search for a string that begins with a search command character,
- you must precede it with the search string separator, like this:
-
- -|++ Search backwards for the string "++".
-
- See also ^Marking String^.
