If I understand you then:
If message 35 of folder, inbox, is a member of sequence aaa then
folder +inbox
refile -retainsequences 35 +deleted
Should create a sequence, aaa (if one did not already exist) of folder,
deleted, and 35 should be a member of aaa. But that does not happen for me.
So either there is a bug in -retainsequences or, more likely, I don't
understand you.
