           Summary: find messages: redesign UI to be more find dialog
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)

Consider modes:
X contains Y
X has an attachment ...?

This does not make too much sense and the UI is quite different from find dialog. I would suggest for each entry of the query add the content of find dialog with addition of attachment:


X ([ ] does not) match(es) criteria:
contains text ..........
[ ] whole words [ ] case sensitive [ ] regexp 
[ ] attachment

of course this is only ASCII draft :-)

In total:
* improved readability
* one negation
* two more options
* consistent UI
* more weekend-user friendly while not limiting power-users
