limited view and incoming messages

[Vincent Lefevre]

I sometimes use a limited view with: ~(~asome_address)

But in such a case, incoming messages that match this pattern are
not included in this limited view. Is this a bug or a feature with
particular patterns?

It's probably some technical difficulty. I'll try to poke around and
see if I can figure out why.

This patch is "work in progress", but you are welcome to try it out.

The difficulty was in the update_index() function, where it applied the
limit first and then sorted. For ~(pattern) we need thread information
for the new messages, requiring an initial sort, and then a pattern match.

Unfortunately, one more call to sort is needed to properly set virtual
numbers and redraw the tree. This will only be done when a limit is in
effect through.

Again, this is WIP - I need to test and clean it up still.
