I'm not sure I totally understand. Are things like attachments not being indexed correctly? If Beagle isn't recognizing them as email messages, this would indicate a problem with the MIME detection. Try running beagle-extract-content on one of the files, and see if its MIME type is message/rfc822, and if metadata is extracted from the message (like to, from, subject, etc.) Another question to ask yourself is, how would you open these email messages from a GUI client? By default it will just try to open the URI, so whatever application can handle opening message/rfc822 files will do so. Unfortunately, I think this is nothing on GNOME (but it might be gedit). On KDE this is KMail. Ideally Gnus would be installing a .desktop file which indicates that it knows how to handle these URIs. If Gnus can't handle the URIs (or filenames) for a given message on a command-line, then it'll require special support from clients to open. The backend you wrote looks fine, but it doesn't add a whole lot to the indexable objects it creates. Is there any way to find out whether the client is Gnus from the mail filter, and then determine its folder? If so, this will save you a *lot* of code, and a separate backend won't be necessary.
