Once I found out about marks, they were intuitive enough; I had been
using isearch-occur with regexpes before that (I'm a regexp junkie).
That may explain why I expected marks to act pretty much like an
interactive Occur buffer - that is, by taking virtual slices out of a
playlist.

I've added that feature in mine own breed of Bongo, though it is
integrated in a Darcs patch instead (mostly because I'm tracking the
Darcs repo very aggressively).

What I am missing at present is a way to "tie" the loose buffers
together; I'll give my thoughts on the subject once I've used multiple
playlists some more, though.

I guess I did the 'darcs pul' (I'm laziness incarnate) shortly before
you sent in your patch, or there was some latency, or I simply forgot
to reload bongo.el after fetching the patch. The MIME patch works
properly now.

I like that one very much. Has it been discussed before on the mailing
list so that I can read it up?
Thanks!
