How is this spam hiding from mutt search?

I've been getting occasional spam recently that follows a common
pattern in the From: header. Below is the full header section of
one of these emails, as an example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

One feature they all share is that "support_id:" prefix in the fake
email address. I thought it should be easy to find them all with
~fsupport_id ... but that consistently finds nothing, even when that
message is right there in my inbox.
I tried both l~f'support_id' and /~f'support_id' and in both cases
it found nothing. Limit gave me a blank mailbox, and / search said
"not found".
(I also tried /~fMAILER in case it would match on the envelope sender
line, but that did not find this message either)
Anyone know what might be happening here?
