Do either of you use Emacs? I'll plug MH-E here.

MH-E handles it. And namazu, swish-e and swish++ (which I use). MH-E
creates a folder for the matches--no matter the indexer--separated by
the source folder. Oh yeah, it falls back on pick and grep if necessary.

The only hitch is that it uses very large message numbers. Currently
my 'vfolder' folder gives a scan listing like:

; scanvf
  700      05/Feb <censored>
 2228    M 02/Jul <censored>
 2246    M 05/Jul <censored>
79223 C  M 13/May <censored>
?4665    M 14/Oct <censored>
?2485    M 22/Aug <censored>
?6905    M 11/Aug <censored>
?7051    M 23/Feb <censored>
?8548    MR13/Oct <censored>
?8549    M 13/Oct <censored>
?8644    M 13/Oct <censored>
?8646    M 13/Oct <censored>
?8647    M 14/Oct <censored>

MH-E's scan listing dynamically changes the scan format depending on the
width of the largest message number so you don't have those pesky
question marks.
