Since the OP's question was "How do I search inside message source"
then searching the source is a rather vital part of the answer!
But I'll grant you that typing CTRL-H and then searching the message
pane also works for headers, so thanks for that tip. It's not quite the
same because searching the source searches the encoded body, but quite
who would want to do that is not known to me.
