I have opened a bug report (#2140) for this, but it seems to me to be
important enough and subtle enough to raise in public:
MailMate will not find some messages based on body text words, possibly
due to some lines being seen as neither quoted nor unquoted text. I
discovered this by looking for messages with specific words in them in a
mailbox full of output from 'cron' jobs which are all plain text made up
of mostly timestamped lines. For example:
[2018-10-11 02:39:37 -0400] [/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rpmup]

Package ea-apache24-config-runtime.noarch 0:1.0-136.136.5.cpanel will be

If I search for quoted or unquoted text, there is no search string I
have found which will find any of my messages made up of lines like
those. Single characters don't work, whole words don't work, nothing.
