We already have a search bar at the top of the message list. We could
make that thing "live", which simply highlights /backgrounds/ of all
occurences of the search text in the selected mail message, and simply
forget about Next/Previous buttons. It's just a simple, not-so-long mail
message. Highlighting would be fair enough.

And actually, in the message viewer window, I'm very confident that
Firefox-esque search bar would do it.

Thanks,
