I dont think beagle-search can handle other clients at the moment.
Here is the relevant part of the code:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle/trunk/beagle/search/Tiles/MailMessage.cs?revision=4139&view=markup

It checks if fixme:client is evolution, then calls evolution with the
right parameters, if fixme:client is thunderbird, then calls
thunderbird with the right parameter, otherwise uses the system
default handler. Since different email client use different parameters
to open emails, there isnt any easy to support arbitrary email
clients. You could try to register Lotus Notes as the system
message/rfc822 handler; thats one possibility.

You can change the source and add application/lotus.notes as a mail
mimetype - that will work but requires you to change the source.

Since beagle-search does not know how to handle non-evo and non-tbird
email files, I dont see any other way for beagle-search to open your
email results using notes.
