Right, associate a name for the search from the *search* view instead of
the folder view. Then it's just a matter of using that command and
typing a name. At that point, you get the new folder (or named search)
added to the main window. That's a great plan.

So you wouldn't generally end up using tags? And each time you wanted to
view a folder you'd really get a new search result? I can see some
benefits if you're using time-range based searches (show me all the mail
From=20Carl that was received in the last week). And disadvantages as
searching might actually be slow at some point?

Yea, sorry 'bout that.

Let's figure it out later; it's just a number and we can change it
without any penalty.
