How to use xapian with non-text attachments

Hello,

I am developing a hosting platform on Debian Bullseye, with Dovecot amongst other tools.

I am trying to use the xapian full test search plugin, but I can see the attachments are skipped:

This is what I have in the logs when running the indexing in verbose mode:

Especially thos line:

doveadm(camille): Info: FTS Xapian: Skipping part of type 'text/csv' and disposition 'attachment; filename="file.csv"'

I have seen this as a bug on fts-xapian: https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian/issues/68

Which then references a PR on Dovecot core itself:

https://github.com/dovecot/core/pull/155

Any idea on how to use xapian with non-text attachments ?

Thanks a lot for your help!
