Now that I tried I kinda like it (and seems useful, which I don't know
whether 'text' is). It would also be nice that with raw format more
than one message could match (just like text). 

Also, this --body=false sound good. I looked the patch a bit yesterday,
and wondered whether it could be made simpler (or whether it is consistent
how that is done in other formats...)
