I wonder if it gets any easier if we limit the scope to nnml groups,
i.e., to the split mail that is locally available in corresponding GNUS
files/directories, and we consider "recent" by, say, receive time?
In essence, the aim is to find a message that I've received and read,
say, yesterday, but can't easily recall particular group it has been
split into? So, for example, ability to make a group with N last
messages taken from every of the nnml groups (NxG messages total) would
be fine as well.
Thanks,
