It is possible to read this the wrong way.  I was not referring to
sorting killed messages based on killee, but rather referring to the
source of the source of the killfile which killed the message.  While
I would be interested in using Global Kill Files coming from a variety
of places, the one which immediately came to mind was Brian Edmonds
Global Kill File stuff quoted in the Gnus FAQ.  I personally would not
trust such a mechanism without some kind of safety net to see what
exactly was being killed by those particular rules.

I offer my public apologies to Brian for any confusion my poor choice of
wording may have brought.
