So I'm wondering what this patch does when a message number read from
standard input refers to a message that doesn't exist. Does scan
abort? Since scan (I guess) may have already produced some output at
that point, what next? I'll try to explain myself by giving a similar
example.
It writes an error and continues.
argument?) refers to a message that doesn't exist. In the third call, I
add another invalid message number (235) to the end of the list, but
scan doesn't complain about it; it aborted when it found that the
previous argument (233) was invalid.
It sucks, but I don't think it's easy to change. All these
commands process the message numbers up-front, before doing
anything with them.
Thanks.
