Only a stone's throw away from the pet feature I've wanted for a while
(but been too lazy to code).

I'd like to be able to set a group parameter called something like
hide-until to something like 20.  Then, that group doesn't show up in
the group buffer until it has 20 new messages in it.

I'd use this for high volume mailing lists like ding.

(right now I use group levels to hide such groups, but I still get
curious and read them too frequently.  ;-))
