Spotlight only returns results if you have chosen a custom location for 
the Messages in the General preferences pane. (Otherwise you are only 
going to get results if you use the Finder and search specifically in 
the Messages folder.)

Also, the test command does not index messages for Spotlight. This 
happens in the background (controlled by the OS). You can use the `mdls` 
command to see what has been indexed for a specific `.eml` file. If it 
has been indexed then it should show up in Spotlight results.
