virtual folders wanted

[ossi@…]

a virtual folder is a message list based on a named filter expression. generally it behaves like a regular mailbox, with some minor restrictions. one particularly interesting feature is combining threading with filtering, so an entire thread is pulled into the vfolder if one message from it is matched.

vfolder-type constructions usually span multiple mailboxes, so no.

Since mutt usually opens only one mailbox at a time, this feature is not
particularly suited to mutt, I suspect.

This is possible with Nicolas'/my/Thomas' thread-pattern patch, latest
