I found a bug for v2 users getting mail through -mda, causing
message bodies to not show up in the search results.  It was a
stupid one-line bug made in an effort to save memory :x

Anyways, to properly index message bodies on affected mda-using
v2 inboxes, a reindex is required:

	public-inbox-index --reindex

This can take a long while and requires roughly double the
current Xapian storage.   However, it's designed to run online
so users will gradually find search more useful as indexing
completes (it runs in reverse-chronological order)

Fwiw, I always run indexing with "eatmydata" to disable fsync
and speed up the process, since Xapian data isn't critical.

I suppose another idea is to allow passing a limit to reindex,
as this bug didn't affect initial imports... (But I'm tired
and I fixed this bug while getting sidetracked from another
bugfix on another project)
