Yup, did that.  It doesn't work.  I've got a filter for the Body, and
it never filters anything at all.

Thunderbird will let you filter the message body in a IMAP account if you
add "Body" as a custom header . Either create a new filter or edit a
existing filter and select "customize" in the left most list box. Enter
"Body" as the "new message header". This adds
user_pref("mailnews.customHeaders", "Body");' to prefs.js. If you have
multiple IMAP accounts you only need to add the custom header once, any
custom headers affect all accounts.

version 1.5.0.7 you need to use "Body:" (add a colon to the custom header),
many older versions accept both formats, while in 1.5.0.8 it complains about
a invalid character if you enter "Body:" in the GUI but has no problem using
"Body:" if you added it using a text editor. You need to experiment.
