The -retainsequences switch causes the memberships in sequences, except

I am truly sorry, to be so dense, but I can't decipher that sentence. In this
context, I don't know what is meant by "membership" (I think as the members of
sequences as messages) or by "carried over". Would some nice person help me.
Perhaps an example would be better:
+inbox, message 35
sequences: foo, bar, blah
% refile +inbox 35 +newfolder
Refiled message is:
+newfolder, message 42
sequences: foo, bar, blah
Philosophical question: are sequences an attribute of a message, or are
messages attributes of a sequence?
If I understand you then:
If message 35 of folder, inbox, is a member of sequence aaa then
folder +inbox
refile -retainsequences 35 +deleted
Should create a sequence, aaa (if one did not already exist) of folder,
deleted, and 35 should be a member of aaa. But that does not happen for me.
So either there is a bug in -retainsequences or, more likely, I don't
understand you.
