Emailer's Mail Database is not a text file. It does contain some text 
strings, which is why it is partially readable with a text editor. But it 
is not a text file, and I would NOT recommend attempting to edit it with 
a text editor (I also wouldn't recommend using a text editor to read it 
either, unless it is damaged in such a way that nothing else can get to 
it, then a text editor might let you extract whatever emails you feel are 
a "must recover").

Spotlight, I believe, will attempt to index anything it can. So once 
again, the fact that there are text strings in the Mail Database means 
that yes, Spotlight should be able to attempt to make some kind of an 
index of the data inside.
