Hi Vero,
I am now a powerpack user (email entered in profile) and have install the mail.app.
How can I tell wether the mail search is working correctly? I have tried searching using the "em" search for a string contained in a PDF attachment within an eml mail message and it was not found. I added eml to the file type specification, and the appropriate directory to the mail search scope tab. Note that the guidance indicates that the folder added needs to be indexed by OSX for files to be found. I am sure that the folder could be searched, but I also know that "eml" files are no longer searched for by finder and spotlight. That is the reason I am hoping that alfred will do the job :-)
As an aside, is it possible to access a log indicating which files were searched, and when? This would provide some assurance to me that it is not that I am just too impatient :-)
