If you're sure there's a valid signature delimiter in the message
you're looking for, you can use a regular expression as a workaround.
Using 'match' instead of 'contains', search for something like:

mygate[\S\s]*--\s

It's not perfect (it'll miss messages with MyGate but no signature
delimiter), but I mention it because it could be useful.  I remember
having this same problem a while back trying to search for 'MyMacros'.
I gave up, but this technique would have given me useful results.

Hopefully a regular expression guru is lurking and can come up with
something better.
