Ben,

Thanks for the pointer (looks like I was foolishly doing a 'keyword'  
Title search on the wiki and never did a 'keyword' Text search).

However, I still think there is a bug. That page states:

"This means that only 26 keywords are possible to store in the  
maildir. If more are used, they're still stored in Dovecot's index  
files."

This is not happening for me though.  Instead all keywords above 26  
are lost immediately after applying them.
