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?
