I want to be able to do a text search of the email headers.

Proposed
We are currently using Build 9014. Not sure if this is possible in any of the newer builds or not.
I want to be able to do a text search of the email headers.

Getting spam coming in to my email, I look at the headers and see the IP address.  Then I go over to SmarterMail Sys Admin and search the server logs for that IP address to see how many spams are coming into the server.  Ok, plenty from these parasites.  So I then block them in the Security Blacklist.

NOW, What I want to do is go back to my email Junk box and do a search of the HEADERS for that same IP address (or partial IP), then mass delete or move all of those from my Junk box so I know they are dealt with.  Instead of having to MANUALLY open another 80 or so emails to see the same IP address 

And to tie it into this : 
"Automatic - "View Headers" in "Junk E-Mail" box"

In Thunderbird you can do:
1) Ctrl + Shift + F (or Command + Shift + F on macOS) to open the advanced search dialog
2) Customize.. -> New message header: "Received" -> Add
3) Do your search in Received headers

I see you already +1 that idea.
