In thunderbird:

Edit -> Find -> Search Messages (Shift-F)
change "field" to "Customize"
enter "Message-ID" -> click "Add"
Click OK
pick "Message-ID" from field-list
enter message ID into contains-field
hit Search.

Put dovecot.org into your IMAP client (anonymous), and search there.
http://www.dovecot.org/mailinglists.html

One can also download mbox files of the archives from:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/

But I agree: the Pipermail installation should be configured to include
Message-IDs so that google can search it for them.
