And conversely, I would love search "header" for text, rather then a
specific header line. For example I want every message that was sent to,
from or has anything to do with "mwave" right now I need to do a CC
search, a To, a subject, and I might still be missing some if the message
was BCC'd and the mwave is in the received header.

Only problem is I'm not sure if IMAP has this feature - pine gets it's
stuff directly from IMAP, and if IMAP can't do header, or body search
neither can pine.
