Hmm maybe, but would that still allow a grouping under an appropriate named group. That is, would I then be able to display a possibly cross group collecton in a single buffer. I think not, but not really sure of all possibilites with cache. I haven't used it since gnus went agent. Maybe something like this would serve the purpose: cache special messages in there respective groups then run nnir on the cache against the subject or other reference. Possibly an added keywords header. Hey, that sounds like it might be worthwhile. Limiting nnir home to just the cache. I don't use glimpse or wais anymore on the full mail news collection. But it would be fast as a greased bullit against just the cache.
