I tried a few minutes too, and for whatever reason the following seems to work
(i.e., skip to the first blank line after the headers, then to the next blank
line):

  macro pager S <search>\^\\s+\$<enter>

(while replacing the + by a * does not work).

Btw, I refined the hack proposed by Francesco Ariis to my request to the
following:

  macro pager Q <search>\^Sub<enter><next-line>

Without the leading "\^", a name starting by "Sub" in the To/Cc field would
match the pattern and defeat the purpose. And I trimmed the number of
"<next-line>" (I guess it depends on what's the last line of your displayed
headers).
