Is there a good way to get a list of message numbers into a bash script,
without the prefixes normally attached by mhpath and mark. What I've been
doing is something ugly like:


      $(mhpath first:3 17 last:4| sed -e "s@.*/@@" -e "s@\n@@"

Is there a cleaner way?

Yes, use pick:

    $(pick first:3 17 last:4)
