Is Gnus > (don't say it!) getting feature-complete? 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!) kai -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
