Re: [Evolution] Search Fault

Which header was it, and which search was it?

The default 'message contains' search looks in the body, plus the
subject, to, cc and from headers.

Body searches should only match textual parts within the message -
however they needn't be displayed by default (e.g. match the text/plain
part in a multipart/alternative that doesn't have the same text in the
text/html part which gets displayed normally).
