    Hi folks.

    I have a huge amount of old mail that I very much want to keep around. In
    fact, I end up searching through it on a pretty regular basis - and these
    searches tend to take a good half hour on a modern machine.

    Is there such a thing as *ix software that'll index your e-mail archive,
    keep the mail around in a compressed form, and allow you to do rapid
    queries of your archived e-mail?

    I'm not talking about something like dovecot, which only does headers -
    and does a good job of it, too.

    I mean something that'll index message bodies, ideally with mime
    knowledge and html, in much the same way that google indexes web pages
    with html knowledge.

    Thanks!
