It looks to me like that's currently not possible. You can see the 
searchable field names in Tickets_Overlay.pm.

I can think of a possible workaround, but it would definitely be a 
kludge: Create a custom field for the message ids and a scrip that will 
copy (or add) the real message id from the transaction into the custom 
field. Then you can search that field for the message id.

The proper fix would of course be to make headers searchable. I'm pretty 
  sure a patch to do that would be accepted ;)
