i'm happy to prepare a patch to add "-nosequence"... unless i'm

Does HISTORY in mh_profile(5) help?
no, not on first (and second and third) read. should it?
I agree that it doesn't help.
I was thinking along the lines of
$ grep '^pick:' ~/.mh_profile
pick: -sequence lp
$ pick last
1 hit
$ pick -list lp
7019
$ pwd
/home/tmp/1354742761.629788533
$ MHCONTEXT=$PWD/ct pick -nopublic last:10
10 hits
$ cat ct
Current-Folder: inbox
atr-lp-/home/ralph/mail/inbox: 7005 7007-7009 7012 7015-7019
$ pick -list lp
pick: bad message list lp

So far, so bad; a private sequence `lp' in a folder correctly removes
the public sequence of the same name. Onwards...
$ echo mh-sequences: >>ct
$ pick last
1 hit
$ pick -list lp
7019
$ MHCONTEXT=$PWD/ct pick -nopublic last:20
20 hits
$ cat ct
Current-Folder: inbox
atr-lp-/home/ralph/mail/inbox: 6958 6983-6984 6990 6994-6996 7000-7001
7004-7005 7007-7009 7012 7015-7019
mh-sequences:
$ pick -list lp
7019
$
The user's own sequences are untouched stored as they are either as
public ones or privately in the user's, not the script's, context files.
Cheers, Ralph.
