Hold on "Alt" key and click at message's "Sender", "Subject" or "Recipient" columns to find all messages with the similar column text. Press "Esc" to clear search and show all the messages. Similar feature is implemented in The Bat! program.
Additional features. "Alt", "Ctrl", "Shift" or middle mouse button can be used to trigger search. User defined regexp can be executed before search. Common used subject prefixes (such as Re:, Fwd:, etc.) are removed to increase search correspondence.
