Subject: How to use google to search for X-Mailer or MimeOLE string (OE version) ???

I'd like to search the web, and usenet, for any or all occurrances of
the following:

   X-Mailer:  Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.3790.181

   and/or  

   X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.3790.181

The above typically is found in e-mail and usenet headers.

When doing a general web (or usenet - "groups") search, for example
searching for "6.00.3790.181",  the only time I'll get a hit is only
when someone reproduces an entire header containing that string.

You will notice that a google "groups" search for 6.00.3790.181 turns
up 3 hits (well, I guess it will be 4 once this post is indexed by
google).

One reason I search for OE version numbers is to see if they are real,
or if they are bogus.  Bogus OE version numbers are added to my
spam-blocking strategy.  Seeing evidence that a given OE version
number is in wide use (as a result of doing a google search for that
number) would tell me not to use that version number as an indication
of spam.

Anyways, if anyone knows how to use google to search the actual header
of any messages it indexes, please post how.
