The documentation describes how to limit a summary buffer to a
certain subject (/ s) or a certain author (/ a), but it would be
really handy to limit a summary buffer according to what is on
the To: line.  Any thoughts?

One way is to use the "&" command.  Go to top of message buffer press
'&' When prompted for 'Header" press 'b' or 'Body' At the regexp
prompt type: ^To: Joe Blow@Kokomo.com <RET> At the 'command' prompt
type '#' Gnus will search out all messages to "Joe Blow@Kokomo.com" and
put the '#' character on them.  Press `/ n' to limit view to messages
with '#' on them.

Just a thought about limiting.. it seems to be a functionality I have
been missing, with something like incremental search.. would it be
possible with something like incremental limiting?? 

For every character I type, the buffer is 'redrawn' with the matches
in the limit I have written..

Limits can be stacked (or nested, if you will).  I.e. you can type `/
a' then issue `/ m' and you will be shown the logical AND of the two
conditions.

MMhm, I am mostly looking for the interactive part.. like oops that
was one character to much [delete] and lets retry..

You need to type `/ w' rather than `<delete>'.
