This doesn't allow anyone reading it to get any inkling of who is being searched for unless the mesage is opened. Given the number of messages displayed one can spend an inordinate amount of time opening messages that have no relevance to them. Could it not be such that everyone has to follow the same format; name of person being researched (with the surname in capitals) followed by any other information. This way everyone can see immediately who is of interest and who is not without having to open the message. Best of luck to everyone in their own search T Counley
