Oh, also, my Hypermail mhtmlheaderfile includes hypermail-generated
metadata:

<html>
   <head>
      <title>%s - %l</title>
      %A
      %S
      %D
      <meta name="serial" content="%i">
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_indexer/index.css">
   </head>
<body>

The IgnoreMetaTags cause searches to ignore those HTML elements.  And,
at least my version of, hypermail places all the info you don't want to
see inside these elements:

A regular search will only look in the body of the message (I think). 
But you can perform searches like author="David Norris" to look at just
the author metadata or whatever.  author, subject, description, etc. 
description contains the first so many characters of the email.
