Sphinx has no built in support for parsing email. Realistically I think
you would need to process your email so that a plain text copy of the
message is stored in a database field and then use sphinx to index that.

Sphinx (but not Thinking Sphinx) also supports XML input. Maybe you
could process your email into a set of XML files? Not a nice solution,
but it  *might* achieve what you're after.

Sorry, no easy answers!
