It would probably be more useful to have brute force regexp searches on
headers.  Austin did some experiments that sounded promising, where you
basically postprocess the result of a xapian query with a regexp. OTOH,
I don't know what kept him from proposing this for mainline. If it was
just parser issues, those are probably more or less solved now, at least
for people using xapian 1.3+
