Subject: setting up a list from pick?
Summary: I want to make a list of articles from pick...

	Consider these two cmd's:

# pick from
cmd     pf      "pick -f \!*; pick -f \!* | set m"

# echo message list that matched
cmd     em      'echo $m'

	I say "pf gumby" and see the list of headers of messages from gumby.
I can then say "em" and see the list of article numbers that my search
found.  I would like to get this same behavior without running pick twice.
I like seeing the headers scroll by as pick does its work, but (at least
in mush, perhaps not in Zmail) the list of matches isn't automatically
stashed anywhere, is it?

	My goal would be to cmd pick to something that always gives me
a var to echo out, without doing the initial search twice...
