OOOPS! Sorry about that -- I was thinking about "setting" the messages,
which, of course, is completely different from what you want. My mistake.
I was thinking of using the special headers commands such as :n (for new
messages), :d (for deleted messages), etc... however, none of these include
forwarded message specifications, so this is a deficiency that should be
fixed. I apologize. Hopefully, we'll get that in the next (upcoming)
patch.
