Steps to reproduce:

Using QuickFilter <Ctrl+Shift+K> to search for text in message body, returns no results if searched string is preceded by "=".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install latest stable Thunderbird version which currently is 31.2.0.

2. Import the attached eml file or create a new message with body text "Field=ABCDEF" (without quotes) and send the message.

3. Select Quick filter (Ctrl+Shift+K) of the Sent folder (or the folder where you imported eml file). Make sure that Body option is on at "Filter message by" options (in my case all options are on: Sender, Recipients, Subject, Body).

4. Filter by the word "ABCDEF" (without quotes), no results appear. But when you search for "=ABCDEF" (without quotes) the message appears. 

If you can't open the attached eml file, here is an example message with headers that reproduces the problem:

Field=ABCDEF


Actual results:

Quick filter shows no results when you search for the word "ABCDEF" (without quotes).


Expected results:

Quick filter should show 1 message which contains the text "ABCDEF" (without quotes) in its message body. It works only when you search for "=ABCDEF" (without quotes).
presenta, thanks for that perfect bug report.

TB never ceases to amaze with bugs. Confirming exactly as described, for TB31.3.0 / WinXP.

Unlikely to be fixed soon, too deep... but would be worth exploring because it almost looks like a false negative which was deliberately created as a workaround for some other problem.
Ideas anyone?
