The only index I know if is http://ds.internic.net/ds/rfc-index.html
If you know of another, maybe one that is searchable, I'd like to 
hear about it.  Sifting through over 2000 RFCs for a keyphrase like
"well-known email addresses" without a search tool takes more than 
a few seconds.

Of course, in this particular case, that RFC is on the first page 
and has "mail" in the title:
2142 PS 
     D. Crocker, "MAILBOX NAMES FOR COMMON SERVICES, ROLES AND FUNCTIONS", 05/06/1997. (Pages=6)
     (Format=.txt) 

Yours in grep,
