[Tracker] searching maildir emails

[Eyal Oren <eyal oren deri org>]

Hi,

I've got a question about searching Maildir emails. The same issue came up 
in the Beagle list, but without a good solution. In the end, it's not 
really tracker's problem, but I thought I could ask you guys for 
suggestions and ideas.

The point is, I'm using mutt to read my Maildir emails. Tracker indexes and 
finds these emails without any problems, but then I don't know how to open 
them. The deskbar handler opens them as text files (using my gnome default 
text editor) but that is quite awkward:
- I don't want to see all my email headers
- The context of the email (conversation, folder) is lost in a text editor

I haven't figured out how to use mutt to open a specific email in a Maildir 
folder, but that would be the best solution.  In Beagle, they sort-of 
ignored the problem, because they rely more-or-less on Evolution. I guess 
mutt is not so popular anymore these days, but what do people do with for 
example thunderbird?

Does anybody have any suggestions?  (I also use mairix to search my emails 
from within mutt, and it works great, but it's just inconvenient to have 
two indexers and search engines running at the same time)
