Description:
Say I delete the selected thread from my inbox:
```sh
mseq -r .= | grep "Inbox" | mflag -S | xargs rm
```

After doing this, the thread will remain in `$MAILSEQ`, so I need to either "re-index" my mail and their threads:

```sh
full_thread() {
	tmp="$(mktemp)"
	mdirs "$@" | xargs mlist | mthread | tee "$threads" | MAILSEQ="$tmp" mseq -S >/dev/null
	grep -nFf "$patterns" "$threads" | sed 's/:.*/=/' | MAILSEQ="$tmp" xargs -n1 mseq | awk '!x[$0]++'
}

mlist -s ~/.mail/*/Inbox | full_thread ~/.mail/ | mseq -S && mseq -C $
```

Or, I'd need to remove the selection from `$MAILSEQ`:

```sh
thread=$(mktemp)
old=$(mktemp)
mseq .= > "$thread" 
cp "${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/seq" "$old"
grep -vFf "$thread" "$old" | mseq -S  
```

I was curious as to whether you had any ideas on how do any of these things more effectively,
as well as your thoughts on an "invert matches" option like `grep`'s `-v`.

Thanks

I use a script `mfix`:

```
#!/bin/sh
# mfix - fix current sequence

mseq -f | mseq -S
```

Edit: Interestingly its not in the manuals. Where did I see it? Or has it been deleted.

Hey thanks! Yeah I haven't found anything on it in the manuals.

The only issue with the solution that @leahneukirchen provided is that,
I want to keep my inbox as empty as possible, and archive emails that I consider "dealt with".

When I delete a thread(or a single reply to a thread) from my inbox, then do `mseq -f | mseq -S`,
only those ones are removed from the `mseq` list.

So this:

```
/home/jer/.mail/work/Sent Mail/cur/1597154230.1026742_15.Amphibian,U=979:2,S
 /home/jer/.mail/work/Archive/cur/1597154277.1026721_14.Amphibian,U=7089:2,RS
  /home/jer/.mail/work/Sent Mail/cur/1597154468.1028958_2.Amphibian,U=980:2,S
   /home/jer/.mail/work/Inbox/cur/1597155064.1031310_4.Amphibian,U=7093:2,S
```

Would turn into this:

```
/home/jer/.mail/work/Sent Mail/cur/1597154230.1026742_15.Amphibian,U=979:2,S
 /home/jer/.mail/work/Archive/cur/1597154277.1026721_14.Amphibian,U=7089:2,RS
  /home/jer/.mail/work/Sent Mail/cur/1597154468.1028958_2.Amphibian,U=980:2,S
```

When I'd prefer that the entire thread were gone.

Though I might just be trying get the `mblaze` suite to do something a `mairix` should be doing - what do you think?

I see, so a (fictional) `mseq -v .=` would be what you want? (Print all messages but `.=`)

Actually, I think I'd prefer to see `mseq !.=`.

But then `mseq !1 !2` doesn't work.

Ah, good catch. A `-v` option would seem reasonable.

Unfortunately, this is not so easy to implement directly. :) Queueing as TODO.
