(Not a dup: this very similar question really asks about the DeliveredTo header).

Bugzilla provides a number of headers telling you why you received a mail, such as X-Bugzilla-Reason. How can I filter on arbitrary tags such as this one in Gmail?

I'm offering a bounty; I really need this. (Bugzilla is my use case, too.) – Dan Fabulich Apr 26 '11 at 0:57
I want this for paypal's email-xclick-payment-notification header, delivered in the header X-MaxCode-Template. Sigh. – Bryce Jul 29 '12 at 14:47

Gmail doesn't do this. But if the emails do have text in the message, it can do it.

Bugzilla only adds custom headers; it doesn't modify the body of the message. :-( – Dan Fabulich May 2 '11 at 4:05

I agree with @Andrew - Gmail won't handle this on its own.

However, you could use an intermediary running procmail1, preprocess the mail and add something to the subject, or change its sender, so that it can be filtered secondarily in Gmail.
