Short of full header indexing, wouldn't a better way to achieve this be to
store only the "to" header as "XTO", the "cc" header "XCC", and the "bcc"
header as "XBCC" and use Xapian's multi-prefix support to map the "to:"
query prefix to "XTO", "XCC", and "XBCC"?  That way you're not storing twice
as many copies of  every address.
