Searching the "Content-Disposition" header (described in RFC 2183)
would make sense, by using "mask header" or "mask body".  Unfortunately
it seems IMAP4rev1 servers do not find this header when searching in the
message's headers, and ignore it when searching in the body of the
message.  I don't if there are any servers that handle this properly.

You could always try searching and see if it works.

Not much.  As described above, the problem is a limitation/incorrect
behaviour of the servers.
