Hi Larry,
.«-B-»«+BR+» new «+,+»
in its default mode«+,+»
produces a one«-\-»-line«-\-»-per«-\-»-folder listing
of all folders «-containing-» «+which contain+» messages
in the «-listed-» «+specified+»
.IR sequences «+,+»
or in the «-sequences-» «+sequence(s)+» listed
in the profile entry
.RI \*(lq Unseen-Sequence \*(rq.
Regarding `which contain', I think it's `that contain'? AIUI it's
`which' when it's incidental or parenthetical to the point being made,
and `that' when it's central. But I've no education in this matter,
just what I picked up over time. (Didn't Knuth get persuaded his many
`which' in TAoP were wrong and change them over?) I know it's only a
man page, but given your pedantic eye I thought you might be interested,
and I'd learn something from those on the list that actually know this
stuff.

Cheers, Ralph.
