[Mairix-users] Escape special matching characters?

[Ed Blackman]

I used mairix to search for a particular Message-Id, expecting one message to be returned. Instead I was suprised to see hundreds returned. On closer inspection, the ID was structured like aanlkti=manymorecharact...@mail.gmail.com, so my search was "mairix m:aanlkti=manymorecharact...@mail.gmail.com", which was treated the same as if I had run "mairix m:AANLkTi=". "AANLkTi" is a common prefix of many Gmail Message-Ids, so I got search results from lots of Gmail users.

Mairix 0.21 in Ubuntu Hardy, if it matters.

Is there any way to tell mairix to treat special matching characters literally? There's nothing in the man page, and I tried "mairix m:aanlkti\=manymorecharact...@mail.gmail.com", but that didn't match anything. According to RFC 2822, all of mairix's special matching characters except "," are explicitly allowed in the local part of Message-Ids.
