Rob, thanks for the great unpacking. Working with the Mail.app and its children items presented me with the following difficulties.
- It makes QS very unresponsive. Not just the initial listing when I right-arrow (which beachballed and took about a minute), but also after I drilled down into a mailbox, it would make QS activation / deactivation lag by more than 20 seconds. - So it looks like working with the spotlight catalog wouldn't be very useful unless it could access the QuickLook data (as Finder or menu bar Spotlight hits do), or whatever else the Mail plugin would do with its items -- I didn't actually get the chance to see this one due to the unresponsiveness. Would it be feasible to influence the Spotlight plugin to present a different view of the item?
