This probably isn't a big deal unless the speed of group entry can somehow be increased. I often do "C-u SPC (wait wait wait) / a" to pick some useful old articles from an archive. If the limiting can be done before the summary buffer is generated this could be a big win. Also, (to go with the above) it would be nice if you could limit by age somehow (say, all articles less than one week old) and possibly limit by multiple criteria (keep prompting for more things to limit by). I can stop dreaming now, I guess. -- Jason L.
