Not quite sure I follow that. "Start at position xyz, carry on for 10000 bits" shouldn't be as long as telling it all 10000 bits?
The problem is that the length of 'xyz' will probably be on the same order of magnitude as the length of your message - if it's only 2-3 digits long, you'll probably find a matching location in the first 100 or so digits. But if you need a run that's an exact match for an entire 20K email, you're going to have to go down a long ways to find a match. (protip - compressing the email text first is a big win here)
