No, I think I've also described my plan in the past (although maybe it 
wasn't on the mailing list). I already have a very experimental 
implementation (too experimental to be enabled for testing or even be 
used by myself). In short, my plan is to do something very close to what 
Scott describes, but it's going to be customizable in the sense that 
*power* users can make their own quick search language if they provide a 
script which converts it to the internal MailMate query language (which 
is too verbose to be used directly). The default quick search language 
is going to be an example of that.

But I don't have time to finish it soon. Right now, the main focus is 
making the 64 bit release sufficiently stable to replace the 32 bit 
release.
