This would be super useful. Something similar VM's virtual folders. The functionality I am looking for is like that of Gnus' gnus-summary-limit-to-* but acting on *all* articles in the group(s) rather than just the ones visible in the summary. Earlier when I used VM I had the following as part of my virtual folder specifications: ,---- | (setq vm-virtual-folder-alist | (list | '("unreplied" | (("Inbox") | (and (unreplied) (not(label "info"))))) | )) `---- i.e, create a virtual folder called "unreplied" by taking messages from "Inbox" which are unreplied and are not labeled "info". VM can slurp a subset of messages from a particular file or directory. I miss this feature. -Nevin
