Though they can get clumsy, there are nmh programs to do each of those things. send/post adds to mail drops, refile moves messages between and within folders. Copy a sequence: mark -seq s2 `mark -seq s1 -list | sed 's/.*: //'` Remove a sequence: mark -seq s1 -del all Unfortunately, pick doesn't help here, it creates sequences rather than searches them. > I don't know which of these things require what kinds of locking.

I realize you provided examples so there may be tasks that aren't as easy to handle. If we need to add to existing programs to get what you need, I think that's the way to go.
