While we're requesting little features - to be able to limit to
secondary as well as to primary marks would be nice.

What I wanted to do once, and that I still think would be k3wl, is to
create an nnvirtual group containing groups matching ^nnfolder+mail
which automaticall limited itself to articles which were less than
(say) a day old and which had not been replied to, so that I could
look at the end of the day at mails that I had received and not
replied to and have a last think about whether I wanted to or not.

As far as I remembered when I tried, this wasn't possible beacuse I
couldn't limit to answered articles, they being represented by a
secondary mark.
