[opensuse] Beagle Configuration

I know many (most?) dislike beagle and turn it off, but I actually have a
need to use it right now, and thought it would be a good solution to
finding some information I have mis-placed.

I have a bunch of tar'd gzip'd mail files (plain text nothing outlandish
they were IMAP accessed) that are archives, from reading on the
beagle-project.org site it looks like they should be indexed when beagle
does its indexing, as "archive files" are supported out of the box (or at
least thats the indication I am getting). Unfortunately it does not
appear that those files are getting indexed, as they never show up when I
do a beagle-query for a string I know is in them. Other items in that
folder are getting indexed, permissions are the same.

So I figured maybe its just something thats turned off, and so I did a
beagle-info --list-filters and did not any mime types applicable for
archives. So now I am left with the question, how do I turn this on, if
its off, or do I need to create my own filter/backend for this?

Applicable information, OpenSuse 10.2, no errors in the .beagle/Log/ area
with regards to indexing the, they just do not show up there:

michaell@mars:/storage/backups/michaell> rpm -qa | grep beag
beagle-index-10.2_20061101-31
kio_beagle-0.3.1-34
libbeagle-0.2.12-22
beagle-0.2.12-28
beagle-firefox-0.2.12-28
kdebase3-beagle-3.5.5-78
beagle-gui-0.2.12-28
beagle-evolution-0.2.12-28

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Michael
