yes I am using 1.2.4

# omindex -V
omindex - xapian-omega 1.2.4

I am not sure how do I write a filter for message/rfc822

It does produce a xapian database. I tried to index it using omindex
and it gives
this error

    unknown MIME type 'application/octet-stream' - skipping

so I added --filter=application/octet-stream:'strings -n8'

It came back with no error.

But then when I wanted to search for it through the web gui I get one result.
mu find from:vadud3 gives 20 results.
