I've since tested this and it does in fact filter outgoing mail as
well. However I'd still like the ability to pick a label while
composing mail that wouldn't match an existing filter.

I search on has:attachment if I'm trying to pull up a list of just attachments.
It might be useful to be able to set up some user-definable
search-strings, though, that work sort of like labels.
So you could set up a 'Web File' link that searches for
(has:attachment label:Web) for instance, and have it be... um... part
of 'show search options'? To the right of that in a user-defined
pull-down? Sort of hotlinks to specific searches. So if you select
it, you get that specific search.
While I'm thinking about advanced search, here are some more ponies I'd love:
is:unanswered -- Shows every conversation where you've sent the latest
mail and have not yet seen a reply.
label: -- I'd like a search operator for unlabelled mail.
label:(T*) -- I'd like to be able to search in more than one label at
once, or exclude a list of labels named according to a certain name
pattern.
header:(search terms) -- Searches on headers and ONLY headers, not
message body, for specific header contents. So let's say I wanted to
search on header:(Received: <IP>) to see all messages that have gone
through a specific host.
An advanced mode that allows egrep-style regexps and will search on
non-alphanumerics. (Perhaps not possible with Google's search
methodology? I don't know too much about how it works.)
I would have to disagree on this one. I like that gmail automaticlly adds any names that are on my outgoing messages. Sure, I have to go through and clean out the cluter at times, but it makes it real nice when you forgot to add the name to your contacts list and "wala", it appears.

Yeah, that's something really annoying.
It'd be really nice to have that feature.

I like the idea of a speedy "move to trash" key stroke sequence. How
about XX in any open message to move it to trash immediately. Along
with this I'd like a user level setting of either "Return to previous
location (Inbox, Sent Mail, etc) or Display next unread message.
I'd also like the XX key sequence to work in any list of messages when
one or more messages are selected.
I think the suggestion that we be able to delete attachments was a good one.

Something that I would like to see... is the abbility to have
different signatures for different lables. When you reply to one
lable, it defaults a different signature.

I'd like the ability to tag a newly composed mail with one or more
labels before sending it, rather than having to dig through my sent
mail file to tag it. I realize that replies to conversations are
already tagged appropriately, but brand new sent mail is not. I'd
just like a label pull-down similar to the menu when reading mail, and
the ability to be able to add multiple labels to a message before
sending it.
You'd probably still need a signature picker in the case of two or
more labels... I'm not sure how to handle it. Either by establishing
a hierarchy or by having another picker/pull-down?
It would be nice filters could be set up on outgoing mail, as well. Such as all mail to a specific address getting a specific label, or
filtering on content as for the incoming filter menu.
Perhaps also the contacts menu could be edited for default labels for
mail coming from given contacts or the whitelist if they separate the
whitelist functionality from the contact list?
For that matter, it could be useful to know if mail coming in is *not*
from a contact (or whitelisted address.) I'd like to be able to
filter based on that! Right now it's not dynamic; you have to
hard-code each filter to "whitelist" addresses with tags.
This is sort of straying from the point on having different signatures
for different labels, but there's a loose connection with filtering
there, I think. :)
Oh, while I'm wishing for ponies, how about a signature randomizer?

That would be really nice!
I'd also like to do a few user definable keystrokes for any action. In particular, I'd love it if there were a keystroke for 'label this
message with label:<whatever>'. I guess that would effectively be a
macro. Even if there were a limited number of them, I could set it up
with the labels I most commonly apply by hand rather than with
filters.
