(Shameless plug alert.)

Well, nnir.el works with freeWAIS-sf, and you can tell freeWAIS-sf to
index To, Cc, and From headers, so this is techincally possible.

Of course, that means that you have to struggle with freeWAIS-sf,
which isn't easy.  But it's great once you get it working.

I'll try to help getting freeWAIS-sf to work for you.
