    That's strange.  I thought that in mush, you could simple do

mush(msg 2)>  mail -f foo@bar
^^^^^^^^^^
(prompt)

Or if you want to mail a different message than the current one, you
write

mush(msg 2)> mail -f 1, 3-15, 18 foo@bar

   which should send mail message 1, 3 through 15 (inclusive) and 18 to foo@bar
(commas optional).
