include subfolders in thunderbird searches

[tophercat]

It would be very helpful to have an option to include subfolders when selecting folders to search in Thunderbird. For example, when searching for messages in an archive folder that preserves folder structure and is organized by year or by month, the archive folder will have potentially dozens of subfolders. It's fairly cumbersome to have to expand all of those subfolders to be able to select everything individually. Much easier to be able to simply select the top folder (e.g. the archive folder) and check an option to include subfolders in the search.
