I can't see any easy way to do this in Gnus. I would expect gnus-group-select-by-author or similar. I have been perusing the info pages and FAQs to no avail. Is there a way to do this? If not, how hard would it be to make Gnus do the following: Allow entering a group showing only articles matching a certain regexp. Interface with BBDB to get From: names and aliases. E.g. M-x gnus-group-select-some-articles Select articles by (F)rom, (S)ubject, (D)ate, (R)egexp? F Select articles from: Kai[TAB] Select articles from: Kai Großjohann Interface with a mail database of some kind (haven't started using any, as I can't use it from Gnus yet).
