There are some messages in folders On My Mac in Apple Mail that are from a listserv, so the "to:" field shows "to:list@thislist.com" or whatever. I know that in the headers of the messages, one of them will show my actual e-mail address like this:
Received: by nz-out-0304.google.com with SMTP id h74so2095083nzf for <myemailaddress@mydomain.com>;
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to enter a search string in Mail that will return all the messages that have myemailaddress@mydomain.com in the Received: field in the headers. Can someone please enlighten me how I can search that (or any other) header field in Mail? This is driving me nuts!

I would start with making a smart mailbox to see if this is seen as a recipient.
Here's what my attempt looked like:
From there you can widen the search to Entire message if needed. Since it's not really "To:" you, the normal search keys in the Mail search like from:xyz or to:xyz won't be of use.
