Have you tried this?

from: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Filters_(Thunderbird)

By default, Thunderbird doesn't support filtering the message body in a IMAP
> account. There is no "Body" in the list box. However, most versions of
> Thunderbird will let you filter the message body in a IMAP<http://kb.mozillazine.org/IMAP>account if you add "Body" as a custom header . Either create a new filter or
> edit a existing filter and select "customize" in the left most list box.
> Enter "Body" as the "new message header". This adds *user_pref("
> mailnews.customHeaders", "Body");'* to prefs.js. If you have multiple IMAP
> accounts you only need to add the custom header once, any custom headers
> affect all accounts.
>
> Unfortunately, the support for custom headers is version dependent. In
> version 1.5.0.7 you need to use "Body:" (add a colon to the custom
> header), many older versions accept both formats, while in 1.5.0.8 it
> complains about a invalid character if you enter "Body:" in the GUI but has
> no problem using "Body:" if you added it using a text editor. You need to
> experiment.
