Note that there's a difference between filters which apply to new
messages (and hence should be able to operate on the currently-relevant
set of headers), and searches which apply to *old* messages too —
messages which may have been downloaded before the user ever *asked* us
to search on their X-Esoteric-Foo: header.

But that's why the IMAP SEARCH command exists... we should make better
use of it.
