Hi there!

I'm looking for a way to query for a message given the value of a
header, say "HEADER-NAME: value" that is part of the source code of
the message.

Is there a way to do so? If so, what is your workflow and could you
provide some example queries? I have tried the following query
keywords: `embed, body`.

Like typing `s` and entering `from:foo` ?

Hi! Thanks! I’ll try later, but I believe I have already tried.

See also https://xapian.org/docs/queryparser.html which is what the
search expression is processed by, AFAIK.

Run

man mu-query

It explains how to formulates searches.

Sure! I was asking about querying specific headers present in the
source code. Thanks!
