Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
If you're referring to a message ID from within the Evolution or from the
command line, you can't search for it.
In other words:
UI search for mid:"foobar12345 at example.com" is failing.
Furthermore, if you're using Evolution from 3rd party products and you're trying
to open a particular email via 'evolution "mid:foobar12345 at example.com"' this
fails as well.
This bug was fixed upstream already: [1]
Since I consider searching for a Message ID as a very fundamental part of a mail
client, I would like to suggest to include the small upstream fix from [1] to
Debian 13 Trixie as well.
The commit that fixes the issue is [2]

Thank you!
