One idea which might get pretty big is to move away from the group
concept a bit.  Instead, you specify a `query' and Gnus displays all
the messages matching that `query'.  This would be a generalization of
the label thing, as it would be possible to include conditions on
labels in the query.  (Of course, for all of this we need a way to
attach labels to messages, first.)

This might get messy, but it would also be nifty.  `Show me all the
replies I sent to Paul.'  `What messages were there last month about
the foo project.'  And so on.

I think integrating this with the conventional groups concept in a
clean way would be a major challenge -- might not even be doable at
all.

Something along the above lines has been suggested before.  (Sorry
that I forgot your name!)
