best solution i've found for The Big Search function is "glimpse".
index the ~/Mail directory (and have cron do it regularly)
and then "glimpse <terms>" and presto!
you can arrange to just get file names out for matches so
capturing that and generating a sequence shouldn't be too hard
but i haven't been motiviated to write the script

3. Improve the reading end of mime mail. I've brought this issue up
before and have ideas on how to do this.
Such as? (e.g. I'm sure I could work out how to make 'scan' show real
text instead of: "=?ISO-2202-JP?Q?=82l=82 ..." in subject lines if I
RTFM'd, but shouldn't it be a default?)
So what else needs doing? Let's put together a plan to do it.
Probably my biggest mh challenge at present is finding messages, i.e.
did I file that in this folder or that one? This is probably the most
likely thing to move me from mh to something like Thunderbird (with
inbuilt search). I currently grep -R to find such messages, I have
played with glimpse in the past, I suspect mh's annotate function would
help with this (and with David Allen's GTD organising) but I haven't
found a solution that is both easy and quick yet.
