we had a back and forth a long time ago about this. I wanted a way to
match a subject and delete all messages on that subject. There was no
apparent way.

the conclusion was that we needed a way to say "middle button action"
in a command line. Russ kindly offered to take a patch if someone
would write it.

So we could say something like
x/viagra/whatever
where whatever corresponded to 'middle-button-Del' or some such.

You can't just change what's in the window AFAIK. That's a reflection
of state, not the state itself.
