In theory, this should work in the search box:

    X-delivered-To:user at example.com

But, it seems not to work. If you put that in and click the 'Details' 
button it shows you what looks like the right search, but it finds 
nothing...

However, from the advanced search interface you can select any header 
you like to search by using the "Other..." ityem at the bottom of the 
header pull-down menu.
