Hi Matt -

Something similar is possible using the V command in summary buffers.

Try:

  V body foo

To select only messages with body containing foo. You can use
many header fields.

  To leave selection: C-u V

Note that the speed of the search can depend on the speed of your IMAP
server.

best,
