You can use .indexOf():

if(str.indexOf(substr) > -1) {

}

didn't work when I use msgCache[id].headers.subject.indexOf("DELIVERY FAILURE:") > -1 –  donald May 24 '11 at 10:12
    
and the subject is: DELIVERY FAILURE: User fdfd.ablfdfitt ([email protected]) not listed in Domino Directory –  donald May 24 '11 at 10:13
    
Well, what is msgCache[id].headers.subject? –  Felix Kling May 24 '11 at 10:13
    
it returns "DELIVERY FAILURE: User fdfd.ablfdfitt ([email protected]) not listed in Domino Directory" –  donald May 24 '11 at 10:14
    
@donald: Works for me: jsfiddle.net/bZUvp (and it also works with node.js, it's the same JavaScript) –  Felix Kling May 24 '11 at 10:14
