yes, that's how i imagined to use it.

btw: do action for all tagged blocks. with a few threads tagged or on a fast
machine it's not noticable, but on a slower machine it is.

if the above is solved to run in the background, then the current do action for
all tagged, could use the same mechanism. it is just a matter of which list of
threads/messages the function receives to operate on:

search + tag some messages + do action on tagged -> call action with list of tagged messages.
search + do action on search -> call action with list of matching messages.

same function for both, return to view immideately, maybe update view when function completes

greetings, martin.
