Hello VM folks,

I'm maintaining VM for a group of machines, and here's a wish list
from some of our users.  We're using 5.31 beta.

1.  Add the ability to Group (sort messages) by the name of the file
that is computed by the auto-folder-alist mechanism.  Not file them,
just group them by where they will go, so you can make sure that's
correct, and read all the messages destined for a particular folder.
(I suppose an alternative would be to able to browse thru unread
messages among all folders, after they've been dispatched. Like in
GNUS.)

2.  Have a command that lets me search (with C-s) in the summary
buffer and then goes to the line my cursor is on.  Like RET, but with
its argument given implicitly by the current line in the summary
buffer.

3.  Fix M-S so there is a way to repeat a search without re-typing the
search string.  There should also be a M-R to go in the opposite order.

4.  Clean up the message window in case one exits another buffer by
killing it.  In particular, if I start to compose a message, then kill
the mail buffer, I see the messages in some slightly disheveled form
until I do some command.

5.  See if there is a way to fix this: If I have set up to
automatically do an fcc to a file and I happen to be reading that
file, then if I respond to a message in it, when I send the mail I get
an error that that buffer is read-only.  Must be some sort of
synchronization mechanism that gets screwed up.

6. Have a command to print all the marked messages.

7. for C-u A, show the message body (or at least the header) before
	filing it.

Thanks,
Mike Frank
