Hi,

Since version 0.23, substring search in Message-ID is no longer
possible:

 "Do not interpret special characters [~,/=^] in Message-ID queries"

I wonder if it is possible to add a switch to command line options to
enable interpretation of the special characters (default can be
Disabled). I really miss the substring search feature.

I have a program that creates a "URL" of a message based on the
message ID, which I can use point (almost) uniquely to a message. For
example, a message ID <1234567890...@mail.com> will lead to a URL
mail:123678abc because I took the first three chars, last three chars
and three chars in the middle. With this tag, I COULD find the message
by doing

  mairix m:123=,678=,abc@=

but no longer so since 0.23. I could use the whole ID, but that would
be too long and not necessary (I use these URLs in my text file).

So my request is, can you consider adding a switch to the command line
to enable interpretation of special chars for message-ID? I know this
will create a problem for message IDs that have special chars in them,
but those cases can be dealt with by guaranteeing that the URL does
not use any special chars. And since the switch is by default off, it
will not affect current users.

Thanks,
Bing
