Yes, that wasn't phrased quite right. It's certainly possible to simply
leave the Summary buffers active, but it's awkward, and the buffers
don't sync with the server without "/ N" and/or "M-g", both of which
effectively redraw the buffer anyway. So I'm looking at ways to update
the Summary buffer "in place", either automatically or on an interactive
command.
