   My Thunderbird is set to not cache the bodies of messages. As a   
   consequence, body search is greyed out or not in the list at all.   
      
   This is because I an using leafnode, an nntp proxy server. It stores   
   locally all messages, so thunderbird effectively gets a copy sent from   
   the local disk, fast.   
      
   Setting TB to cache bodies would mean having two copies on my disk of   
   every message.

   Cheers, Carlos.
