As message sequences are folder-specific,
moving the message from the source folder removes it from all its
sequences in that folder.
.B \-retainsequences
adds it to those same sequences in the destination folder,
creating any that don't exist.
This adding does not apply for the \*(lqcur\*(rq sequence.
BTW, the man pages are a bit \- happy, using it where a normal hyphen is
needed between words, e.g.
fixed semantics on a per\-folder basis
Message sequences are folder\-specific
`per-folder' is correct.
Cheers, Ralph.
