We are having trouble indexing a user's ~/Mailboxes directory under
3.0.  The objective is to be able to use the Librarian to find all the
mail messages that refer to a particular topic.  However, the obvious
procedure of dragging ~/Mailboxes into the Librarian and creating an
index doesn't seem to work -- all queries on the index fail. 

Is there some particular reason NeXT mail files can't be indexed?  Or
is there some conceptual leap I'm not making?  Any ideas or pointers
into TFM would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
