A little more mutt learning

Further with this tagging stuff, you can do a D (capital D) to delete
all messages meeting the following condition.  That following condition
is spelled in the manual under different expressions.  This is a fairly
complex thing and hard to memorize so you might want to study it
thouroughly and book mark it.  Some of the patterns I remember well is
for deleting all new messages.
Type D and when prompted for a pattern, I do "~N" without the double
quote marks and hit enter.  I do this when I have a folder full of new
messages I just don't have time to read and wanna simply clear out and
start over:).  Note this marks for deletion; then the $ command like
usual, will expunge the folder.  I usually seem to forget the pattern
for number range but that one comes in handy too.  I think it is
something like "M31-55" without the quotes to identify messages 31
through 55.  Like I say, it is hard sometimes to remember the pattern
characters but it sure is powerful.
