   We've just installed Elm 2.3 here, and I'm preparing a brief
introductory document to tell users what it's all about.  I intend to
sketch out Elm's advantages over Berkeley mail and Mush, but to be
fair will mention any limitations I'm aware of.
   So far there's only one significant feature of mail/mush I can't find
in Elm, and that's the ability to operate on a specified range of
messages by number, e.g. "s 2-4 7-11 ~/newfile".  Am I missing
something, even after reading the Reference Guide, or are range
operations in fact not implemented?
