I've done some work on indexing attachments and files inside archives
(like tar and zip files), but I haven't merged it yet as it's not
entirely satisfactory in various ways, most of which require some
refactoring of omindex to address.

The approach I took to attachments was to index them as separate
documents - if I follow you correctly, you seem to be trying to treat
them as part of a single document.  Is there a particular reason why
you are taking that approach?

I don't think my code is anywhere public currently, but I can rebase
it onto current master and put it on a git branch if it's potentially
useful to others in its current form.

Cheers,
