Hello to all,
I have one small feature I would like to be added that made my work
much easier. 

Could a highlighted part of text be inserted into the search window
automatically if you press Ctrl+F?

Background: I'm getting daily digests of news from Russia,
Eastern-Europe, Iran, Irak etc. (from www.rferl.org). The news have
headlines, some of them (=most important) are repeated in the beginning
of the message. To jump to these news, I just search for these
headlines in the message. 

Somehow I cannot insert text from the clipboard into the search window
(get's me a warning sound only). So I'm using DragText at the moment,
but it's a bit cumbersome to switch between keyboard and mouse all the
time.

So, highlighting some text and pressing Ctrl+F to have the search
window come up with the text already inserted would be very
comfortable.

Best regards

Andreas

PS.: I'm using PMMail/2 2.10.2010 (newer betas don't work so well here)
