Null snippets

Hi dBera & list,

Many thanks for your attention to my problem of uri's with spaces. On 
another little matter ...

I notice that the snippet feature seems a bit fragile - that is, it 
returns null under various circumstances, even though the content is 
correctly found. The circumstances include (as far as I can see) any 
child indexable such as a mail attachment, some mail (but not all), and 
also any phrase search. Snippets for mail attachments would be 
particularly useful! Is this a known problem?

Cheers, Roger
