Nice, thanks! I tried it with the example from yesterday:

1) The terminal search:

grep -r "Pink Roses" *

2) The result:

inbox/5518:Live on YouTube: Ginger Cook - Pink Roses by Curran
Acrylic Painting Tutori=

3) Opening that message in Claws Mail:

claws-mail --select inbox/5518

That's much faster than my way of opening the file in a text editor
and finding another way to search for it within Claws Mail.

Also nice to know. It's convenient to be able to come at things from
various directions. I'll definitely be putting this to use since I've
been doing some major restructuring of the placement of a large
collection of older messages.
