Anyway, unless I misunderstand something, the "summary" in Rmail is called the message "index" or "list" by other MUAs. And the rmail-summary-by-* commands are called "filter", "select" (a subset of messages) or "limit" (the index to a subset of messages) by other MUAs. Is "limit" perhaps a better word? For example, rmail-summary-by-recipients would become "Display a summary limited to messages with the given RECIPIENTS." This seems close to what the manual already says: "C-M-r makes a partial summary mentioning only the messages that have one or more recipients matching the regular expression rcpts". And rmail-summary-apply-filters-consecutively would be rmail-summary-gradual-limiting or rmail-summary-incremental-limiting.
