Subject: Re: Search using email headers does not work

I think I mentioned this on irc sometime ago: would indexing all the
headers as a separate free text entry (under headers: for example)
satisfy most of this. So then you could search for things like
headers:"List-Id: blah" or similar.

It is not as nice as individually indexed headers, but it does mean that
all notmuch instances would be the same and the same commands would
work, the library interface would be consistent etc.

Best wishes

Mark
