The Retrieved Messages filter dialog is in the top left hand corner of a message window. This dialog normally set to "No Filter," meaning that all messages are retrieved and displayed by the viewer. However, you can specify that only those messages conforming to some filter pattern are retrieved. See the example in the screenshot below (which was to retrieve all messages except those whose text contains SIPMAIN).
