Ok, now I understand that text. Thanks. I tried using "tag:important and
tag:unread" yesterday, and it didn't work either.

Today I am wondering if maybe I had threads that had some messages
marked important and some marked unread, but no individual messages
marked both unread and important. Oh well, maybe this was the real
reason I was having problems.

Thanks for your response.
