I'm still considering org-mode; I haven't yet given up on an internal-to-gnus solution, though. I looked at the existing marks; I don't think they'll do the trick, and unfortunately the marks mechanism doesn't seem like it's extensible at all. Browsing through the other gnus-summary-limit functions, though, "gnus-summary-limit-to-extra" caught my eye. Just what are the consequences of adding a header to gnus-extra-headers? I'm thinking that I could add in another header there ("X-Tag", say), write some simple commands to edit messages to add/modify the X-Tag: header in the current article, and write some wrappers to gnus-summary-limit-to-extra to pick out the articles that I want. Does that sound like it should work? Are there any gotchas I should know about before I start tinkering with it? I'm worried that there might be some index of the extra headers for articles that could cause problems if I go this route, or something like that. Also, gnus-summary-limit-to-extra doesn't look that complicated; could I write a function that does something similar to it but doesn't care about gnus-extra-headers? gnus-summary-limit-to-extra calls gnus-summary-find-matching; when looking through the latter function, at first I was afraid that it depends on there being a narrowly-defined set of mail-header-XXX functions, but will mail-header-extra work with an arbitrary header, will gnus-data-header return all the headers? Obviously, I'm not too familiar with the Gnus code base; I'm happy to do some experimentation, but any tips that people had would be greatly appreciated.
