For example, currently C-M-r asks a single question: Recipients to summarize by: and each C-M-r invocation starts again from all messages in the file. Instead C-M-r could ask two questions, the first one being a multiple choice similar to y-or-n-p: New summary/Limit current summary/Extend current summary (n or l or e): > > My point is that we already have q as a way to specify to disregard the > previous filtering and start from "all the messages in the file." > Did you bind 'q' to some other command in your local customizations, perhaps? 'q' is by default bound to rmail-quit/rmail-summary-quit, which quits Rmail.
