Hi Eric,

from notmuch/TODO:

  Add support for the user to specify custom headers to be indexed (and
  re-index these for existing messages at the next database upgrade).

I think that Carl has plans to implement this feature for v0.4 together
with other changes which require changing the database schema. But given
the burstiness of notmuch development I can really say when that will
happen. Of course, patches are welcomed :-)
