Subject: key word association?

I recently abandoned the Columbia Mail Manager in favor of Pine.
I had originally made the opposite switch to get the benefits of
MM's bulk searching and message manipulation features; however,
Pine has surpassed MM in important respects.

One MM feature I miss is the ability to set a keyword for a message
which can then be used for instant searching and related manipulation.
I gather there is no way Pine can associate a keyword with a message.

Hello.

This capability will be in a future version of Pine.  It is waiting on the
functional development of certain other technology which Pine is layered
upon.  When implemented, the keywords capability will be quite a bit more 
general and functional than in MM.

The Pine team is quite aware of the functionality of MM, and many of the
capabilities of MM (although not its user interface) influenced Pine and
especially its underlying mail handling engine.  I was the primary
developer of the original MM on the DEC-20 for over a decade.
