Hi David,
The nmh-1.6-RC1 refile man page says:
The -retainsequences switch causes the memberships in sequences, except
"cur", of the refiled messages to be carried over to each destination
folder.
I wasn't fond of that sentence when I wrote it. And I'm
still not. But I can't think of anything better.
Contributions are welcome.
.PP
As message sequences are folder-specific,
moving the message from the source folder removes it from all its
sequences in that folder.
.B \-retainsequences
adds it to those same sequences in the destination folder,
creating any that don't exist.
This adding does not apply for the \*(lqcur\*(rq sequence.
BTW, the man pages are a bit \- happy, using it where a normal hyphen is
needed between words, e.g.
fixed semantics on a per\-folder basis
Message sequences are folder\-specific
`per-folder' is correct.
Cheers, Ralph.
