My email client (Eudora) incorrectly parses the text between 
shift-command-F and command-G in your reply. I haven't 
noticedproblems parsing utf8 text before using Eudora.

I'm wondering whether this affects anybody else?

I'm also wondering if the garbled section in my message quoting of 
Allan's response is parsed correctly or incorrectly (I can check 
later on the list archive).

Here's what it looked like to me in the original message reply:

Here's what the garbled section said:

   shift-command-F (searching for 'cursor') you can set the folder to 'src'
   or enter 'src/**/*.{c,h}' in the 'matching' glob field to achieve something
   similar.

   After the search, click first match and use command-G

The text of your message appears fine here:

I agree the new find command is much more powerful and does cover 
some of the use cases I described.

Generalizing the filtering would be quite powerful and useful.
