If you don't want  to mess with the new `gnus-extra-headers' functionality,
it can be done using the `&' command:

Press &  then when prompted, type  Body  (<=note capital B)
When prompted for regexp, type ^To:.*persons-name<RET>  (or some more
restrictive RE)

When prompted for a command, type #... Gnus will take off at a
blistering pace (unless on-line... then read "snails pace") to search
each message body for that string, putting a 'process' (#) mark on its
finds.

Use those process marks to continue moving/copying  or press `/ n' to
limit view to the finds ...maybe to make sure your regexp did what you
expected.
