I would not object to changing the existing Rmail partial-summary commands to use the term "filtered" if that makes the whole of Rmail summaries clearer. > Anyway, unless I misunderstand something, the "summary" in Rmail is called > the message "index" or "list" by other MUAs. "List" in the context of Emacs will tend to cause confusion. "Index" might be ok to switch to. Does anyone see a possible confusion in use of "index" here? > How about "progressive summary"? or maybe "progressively narrowing > summary"? If it is ok to use the term "narrowing" for this. "progressively narrowing" would make sense. It could also be "progressive filtering". > Is "limit" perhaps a > better word? I think "limit" is not helpful here. That's because "progressively limiting" is not a clear way to decribe this. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
