+mairix is a program for indexing and searching email messages stored in Maildir
+(see the documentation section below), MH or mbox folders. 
+
+Some features:
+  * Indexing is fast. It runs incrementally on new messages - any particular
+    message only gets scanned once in the lifetime of the index file.  
+  * The search mode populates a "virtual" maildir (or MH) folder with symlinks
+    which point to the real messages. This folder can be opened as usual in
+    your mail program.  (Note, if messages are in mbox folders, copies are
+    made. Similarly if the virtual folder has mbox format, it is filled with
+    copies of the matched messages.) 
+  * The search mode is very fast.  
+  * Indexing and searching works on the basis of words. The index file
+    tabulates which words occur in which parts (particular headers + body) of
+    which messages.
