[Patch v3 1/2] emacs: add a filter option to show

[Mark Walters]

Show the current thread with a different filter (i.e., open messages
in the thread matching the new query).

Bound to 'l' for "limit".

Note that it is not the same as filter in search mode as it replaces
the existing query rather than ANDing with it (but it does keep the
thread-id part of the query).
