messages you 'subscribe to'

If you see a message topic, that you're interested in following and "subscribe to it", you will be notified if more info is posted.  But is there a way to search for or make a list of the messages "I subscribed to"?  After reading many messages, there are a number that I want more info on, but if no one comments on it, it won't pop up again.  I don't want to lose track of these. Thanks

There is a search feature in Basecamp. It's a button in the upper right part of the screen. You can search for a topic by entering a few words in the search field. 

You can also scan the questions quickly by clicking on the Messages button (upper left part of the screen.) 
Once you're in the Messages screen, look at the column on the right. 
There, you'll see Categories. Under that heading is a link, All Messages. 
Click on All Messages. 
Scroll down to the very bottom of the screen where you'll see a link Older Messages. 
Click on Older Messages. 

Here, you'll see every message on Basecamp, with the oldest at the bottom. Click on any message to see more. You can then click your web browser's Back button to go back to the complete list of messages.

I've used the search feature.  And looked at the list of messages.  And read MANY of them and 'subscribed' to several.  What I'm asking about is; if you've every looked for items on EBay, you can put things in your 'watch' list and quickly go back to those and not have to look over every item again.  That's what I'd like is to be able to do, keep track of messages that I've subscribed to. thanks

Yes, if you have subscribed to a message, you'll be notified each time there's a new comment on it, unless you remove yourself. I'll research to see if you can access a list of the messages to which you're subscribed.
