i think i requested this before a long time ago but i don't know the current status of virtual folders and i probably wasn't too detailed about the idea. what i think would be neat is to be able to do a recursive grep (e.g. find . | xargs grep -i regexp) in ones vm-folder-directory (warning -- there might be some regular text files too) and vm a virtual folder that contains all of and only the messages under that directory that contains the regexp. this would all be done with one meta-x command in emacs. the command would ask for the directory and the regexp, and for whether the grep should be recursive or not. this would be heaven. i do recursive greps all the time to find things in vm folders, and to be able to use vm on them easily would be nice. currently i use dired and such but that's inefficient. comments? kyle, are you interested? -- no signature
