A macro works the same as the keystrokes in its definition.  So after
the ';' is processed and does nothing because there are no tagged
messages in the file, the 's' is processed, which saves the message at
the cursor, just as if you had typed the keys individually instead of
using the macro.  In other words, ";s" is processed as ';' followed by
's', not as one command ';s' meaning "save tagged messages".
