Hi. I would like to be able to define a virtual group which puts
together articles from all groups up to a given date - say, those which
are at most one week old. I could obviously have a group which collects
*all* my messages and then sort them by date pay attention only to the
last week. However, I manage many messages and I prefer not to do this,
partially because I want the group buffer to show me both read and
unread articles (e.g., with / O). Any advice on how to do this?
Thanks,
--

Hm... that sounds like a rather difficult thing to do, since Gnus
doesn't really have an interface with its backends that would allow it
to get that information quickly. It kinda sounds like a search-based
group thingie, in a way, where you specify some criteria and then you
get a group based on that on the fly, more or less.
Which sounds difficult. :-)

You could use an external indexing tool. If you're using IMAP, take a
look at nnir. If you have local storage, nnmairix might fit the bill.
