For now, anyone who wants to check their mail storage whether this have
any effect:

$ find . -type f | xargs head -1 | grep -B1 '^From '

(I got zero results :D on this machine; have to test on another...)

----

Quickly crafted other test: regexp (and head -1) may be incomplete...

$ find . -type f | xargs head -1 | grep -B1 -v -e '^[a-zA-Z_-]*:' -e '==.*==' -e '^$'

The first one will find any emails that were found last time but would
not be found (as emails) after e.g. dump-restore-reindex. Second one
would find (some/most?) emails that weren't indexed in the first place...
