Unable to search for emails with content with a given MIME type

[Todd]

Petter,

The feature you wanted was committed a few days ago (searching with a
"mimetype:" prefix).  Searching for "mimetype:calendar" would get any
"text/calendar" or "ics/calendar" attachments.

(Replying to the list so it will appear in the list archive as well.)

Thanks,
Todd
