What happens if you invoke Spotlight to search for a message-ID?

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this will work:

budney@iBook budney-$ mdfind "kMDItemIdentifier == email@hidden "
budney@iBook budney-$



The above should find one of my posts in this thread, but it returns nothing. The results are the same whether I use mdfind, spotlight, or Mail's search. I'd have thought that spotlight indexed the full text of the raw message source, but it looks like I'd be wrong: it appears to index only the body and selected headers.


Is there a way to get spotlight to index message-id headers? The same document that gave me the key kMDItemIdentifier specifically gave message-ids as an example...


the mail importer doesn't write out this information about a message, please file a bug requesting that it do this.


Once the mail importer does this, the above query will work.
