Either open a new message window and select "Edit" -> "Properties...",
or go to the GNOME Control Center and select "HTML Viewer".

Select "Tools" -> "Mail Settings...", and Edit the IMAP account. Go to
the "Special Folders" tab and select the proper folder. You may have to
subscribe to the folder (i don't recall if this is necessary), through
the "Tools" -> "Subscribe to Folders..." menu

You may have to subscribe to it, as desribed above.

I don't know, but somebody else on the list might.

I know what you mean. I usually just download all of the archives and
grep through them. Not an elegant solution, but it works, except when I
am at home on dial-up.

You're welcome.

Hmmm, I can't seem to reproduce this. What kind of keybindings are you
using (in the message composer window: "Edit" -> "Properties...",
"Keyboard Shortcuts" tab).
