Why not just "select" the items then use "delete *" to get rid of them
all... (last time I tried it this was a bit noisy, but perhaps that could
be fixed :-). No need for a new command when two simple ones will do.

You could just have the macro pick up the contents of the file and put
it into a string to set the option (or have the option set via a
variable set in your macro in any of (most likely) hundreds of
ways...).  No changes to the base mailbook code needed...
