Re: "next" using my "pick" sequences?

I thought this was possible, and ... it is!  Check out mh-sequence(5),
but here's the key bit:

       The  specifications  "name:next"  and "name:prev" may also be used, and
       they designate the next or previous message (relative  to  the  current
       message)  which is an element of the user-defined sequence `name'.  The
       specifications "name:first" and "name:last" are equivalent to  "name:1"
       and  "name:-1",  respectively.   The  specification  "name:cur"  is not
       allowed (use just "cur" instead).  The syntax of  these  message  range
       specifications is subject to change in the future.

I have to ask ... do you not use mhshow(1)?  Because that should really
suppress a lot of the "useless" MIME.  We tried to make the defaults
work sensibly for modern email messages.
