There is little these messages have in common.

Matching, using evo, on a line in the text of the message, I get 20 to
30 messages at a time deleted at best.

If I could find a way to match on a line in the attachment, presently I
could get 452 all at once.

Is there a way, with evo, to select a message based on a (base64) line
within an attachment?  If not, is there a tool that does this already?

Failing that, I have a python script that could be adapted, but I'd
rather use a preexisting tool.
