Yes, it can be done with thunderbird.

You just highlight the folder you want to have sorted/filtered.  Then you
right click the folder and select "search messages".  You search for
something in the body and then you click save "save as search folder".

This, of course, is a "virtual folder" but it does work quite well...at
least for me.

When I do that, there is no means of sorting by the Body, just all the
assorted parts of the message header.
