Just for the record, your reply was delayed because of the size of the 
attachments (the limit is currently 40KB). It requires me (as moderator)

Not really, but I get your point.

The original example shows all messages sent to email addresses which 
you use yourself to send messages. A bit of a hack to get all addresses 
specified in your IMAP accounts (since the query language does not yet 
let you access those directly). As Bill noted this is useful for mailing 
list messages.

Your example could be more useful for many users, but it has the problem 
that it won't show you any messages from individuals that have never 
sent you a message before.

In any case, its primary purpose is to be an example of the use of the 
“is in” comparison method.
