Hi 

I wonder how I can search for a string in all emails (not just the
subject line or the current email).

Thanks Stefan

The following is documented.  Is this what you need?

M-s runs `rmail-search'

`rmail-search' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "rmail.elc"
(rmail-search REGEXP &optional N)

Show message containing next match for REGEXP.
Prefix argument gives repeat count; negative argument means search
backwards (through earlier messages).
Interactively, empty argument means use same regexp used last time.
