The other option that hits me off-hand is to just tag-pattern whatever
you want ("matt price"), and then search for ~T. (In the particular case
of looking for stuff you sent off, ~P in the search does the trick with
no need for the tag-pattern.) You'll then have the entire thread right
there (if you're sorting by threads), and when you're ready to move on,
you can just type 'n' to find-next. I know, it's not as even half as
pretty as limiting, but it Gets The Job Done (TM).

Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
