in the set being saved. Any tags are cleared and the messages are marked for dele-
tion. The current message pointer is moved to the first undeleted message after the
last saved message.
t Tag toggle. Tag the current message for a later operation and move the current mes-
sage pointer to the next undeleted message. The operation can be one of |, C,
