No easy way.  Sort by author and page forward until you get to those
messages, then read them sequentially.  You can try

    fkey <some key>  'pick -f certain_user | type'
    <press key>

but I'm not sure what that will do (I don't use tool mode much, I'm
answering cuz I bet Dan doesn't have time); probably the first N messages
will just flash by at high speed and leave you looking at the last one.

} Moreover,  this does not work for all commands. setting a PFK to 'sort d'
} and pressing it gives no visible response

There's a menu selection for sorting, use that.  The sort HAS happened
when you bind an fkey to do the sort, but tool mode never updates its
picture of the header display unless you use the menu selection.  (This
means that if you "sort d" from an fkey and then select a message to
display from the header subwindow, you'll probably get a different
message displayed than the one whose header you clicked on.)
