When I go to "Edit" and try to use the option to find text in message that
option is no longer available to me for some reason. Anyone have a fix?
thanks.
 
Do you have a message selected when you try that option?
It should be there (Edit, Find, Text in this message).
 
Gary, even when I select the message, the "find text in message" option still
dones not provide the option to be clicked (it is present, but it is gray
instead of black and cannot be selected. )

Very strange! The only possible culprit I can think of is an
incompatible antivirus program like McAfee or Norton. If
either of those is present, try uninstalling.

Or, if you feel adventurous, you can upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

I've seen that bellsouth.net recommends about 6 antivirus programs,
about half of which cause problems in Windows Mail. I prefer
avast!, which if custom installed without the module that scans
email, works better with Windows Mail.

The low-paid customer service reps for Bellsouth do not have the
expertise to advise you about antivirus incompatibilities.
