If a mail is base64 coded (Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 => this mail is in fact a big block of Base64 chars), and is stored on a server (imap) search function can find mails that match body search rule.

If this mail is copied to the local folder, and you do the same search query (but now on local) it miss to find mails.

3. copy this mail localy
4. repeat step 3 localy => it fails
Actual Results:  
Failing to find mail
