I think Thunderbird emails would still cause problem since those emails will 
be just like individual email files in the filesystem. As long as 
index-helper is asked to filter a valid message/rfc822 email file with a 
problematic HTML body, this bug will be triggered. To avoid this problem, the 
Thunderbird extension would have to supply all the different message parts as 
separate indexable data to beagled, which would be stupid and is not done 
currently.
