Hi,

The pick man page doesn't present this quite as clearly as it could,
but when it refers to "--component", "component" means "any header
field name". So I think what you want is: "pick --message-id .*".
(The double hyphen is important.)
Indeed, this fixes the problem (of course we have to escape the '.*'
tp prevent the shell from expanding it).
My suggestion used ‘--message-id 'z*'’. Its approach uses MH sequences,
each a fast set implemented using a bitmap, with a loop iterating for
each distinct message-ID field.
