Currently don't see an example where any field I'd want to match in
the first-part headers only (From/To/Subject/....) would occur anywhere in
a attachment, which is not 'message/rfc822'.
OTOH if I want to match fields of non-top-MIME-Parts (usually attachments,
alternatives/.. - Content-Type/Disposition/Encoding) I think I would not
want to restrict the match to not include attachments of attached e-mails?

I think we can wait for the use-case for this to come up in the community
- and then change the checkbox to a combobox (default, top-only,
ignore-message/rfc822) - What do you think?
