+For now, anyone who wants to check their mail storage whether this have
+any effect:
+
+$ find . -type f | xargs head -1 | grep -B1 '^From '
+
+(I got zero results :D on this machine; have to test on another...)
+
+----
+
+Quickly crafted other test: regexp (and head -1) may be incomplete...
+
+$ find . -type f | xargs head -1 | grep -B1 -v -e '^[a-zA-Z_-]*:' -e '==.*==' -e '^$'
+
+The first one will find any emails that were found last time but would
+not be found (as emails) after e.g. dump-restore-reindex. Second one
+would find (some/most?) emails that weren't indexed in the first place...
