Vista, Outlook 2007, Indexing missing some HTML bodies

I did a new install of Vista and Office 2007, have updated it from the
web. Most things are working but I cannot get instant search to find
some obvious matches.

I have narrowed it down to not finding matches in the body of HTML e-
mail messages, it seems to work fine in plain text and rich text. I
tested this theory by forwarding a message to myself that was in HTML
that it was not finding. I forwarded it three times -- once as plain
text, once html, once rich text. I then searched for an unusual word
in the message (galactica) and it found only two of them omitting the
HTML.

I have so far --

- repaired office (and I do not think I had any office 2003 items
involved, I saw that KB).

- Updated office and vista

- rebuilt the index (three times actually)

- rebuilt the Outlook OST file (did it by dropping ost from outlook,
rebuilding, adding ost and let it populate and complete ost synch as
well as indexing)

So far I have not found a single case where it misses items in rich or
plain text, and haven't found one word it can find in html messages.

Under indexing advanced options the html and html file types are set
to "html filter" for context and header, though I am not sure this
matters for outlook.

Outlook is connected to an exchange 2003 server and was online when it
was indexing, and cache mode was enabled and built.

What am I missing?

I just tried an experiment -- I saved the message as a .HTM document
and let it index. It would not find it there either. I tried it as
a .DOC file and it found it.

Basically Vista's HTML filter for indexing seems not to be working for
me either in Outlook or files (so maybe I have this posted in the
wrong group).
