Random feature thought: "limit to thread"

Random feature thought: "limit to thread"

[David Z Maze]

From the summary buffer, I can already type e.g. '/ a dmaze' to limit
the buffer to articles that I wrote.  WIBNI I could type '/ t a dmaze'
to limit the buffer to threads I participated in?  I think I'd expect
the semantics of '/ t ...' to be "limit to any thread containing any
article that '/ ...' would accept".

Hmm what about : '/ T' ? The process would be then, '/ a dmaze'
and then '/ T'. I didn't try but from the docstring, it should do
what you ask for.

For what I've tried, `/ a <regexp> M P b M-& / T' does just that, albeit
somewhat slowly.

A related feature request, which is probably easier to implement (or
might already be done!):  I'd like to be able to limit to messages
either to or from a certain person, so I can read a conversation
in an e-mail group.
