The "-x" option inverts the search. However, I don't recommend using
"pick -h status f" to determine the status of messages. This header
doesn't have "updated" information -- that is, anything you do in your
current mush session is not reflected in the Status header until you
update. Besides, it's slower than doing it the right way, which is to
the "flags" command. In this case, "flags f" ...
to get all the messages that *aren't* forwarded, you could do
* { `flags f` }
* = all messages, the {}'s means "except" the messages inside.
The messages "inside" are those returned by the flags command --
specifically, the messages that have been forwarded. The result
is a list of all messages that have not been forwarded.
