I've been trying to pick and sort messages (letters? articles?)
in a folder but I keep getting this:
Range not broad enough to sort anything
my command is:
pick -t <pattern> | sort a
pick -t <pattern> by itself finds about 30 out of 94 messages.
sort with 's' and 'd' do the same thing. what am I missing?
also, is there a way to "partition" the current folder so that
all unread messages can be kept in the same file but with all
messages addressed to a common place in one partition, messages
to another address in another partition, and remaining messages
in a third? a blank line or an empty message would make a
reasonable partition divider which would then reduce this request
to a complicated sorting problem. any ides?
(I'm running (6.5 4/17/89) [5/12/89])
