For the record, I'm working on making this easier via a GUI setting 
since I don't really want anyone doing this manually.

In theory, OS X should start indexing as soon as MailMate has been 
launched and the Spotlight importer has been detected.

No. MailMate parsers text content of plain text body parts and the 
address headers. That should make it possible to make a search such as:

	author:benny recipient:max spotlight

But I'm actually not sure exactly how the Spotlight syntax works. 
Documentation seems to be scattered or I haven't found the correct link 
yet. Here is one interesting 
[link](https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14172?locale=en_US).

You can also search via the command line using `mdfind` or see what has 
been indexed for a given file using `mdls`.
