It seems like for non-consecutive messages to be tagged, there'd have to be some sort of mutt-style message-marking facility. There was some discussion when the feature was first introduced about whether to go with region or marking. I think I wrote a quick version of both. (I just checked -- that uncertainty is actually still there in the commit msg of 4c9585933 where the region feature comes in.) The decision, if I remember correctly, was that regions are so intuitive for emacs users, and many people reported trying to tag by region without thinking about it, that this approach would make sense for the emacs interface. In other words, keep the emacs interface emacsy. I think I still agree with that, since I feel like having both would be confusing (what do you do when you select a marked-line in a region?) and I like the one I tend toward intuitively. But I certainly see the benefit of the other functionality as well. Best, Jesse
