I wanted a way to show the first unseen message in a folder.
In desperation, I came up with the following. Surely there
is a better way. Perhaps someone could clue me in?

#! /bin/csh
# show the next message unseen in the folder. For now, this just
# works in the curent folder, because the arg parsing is too hard.
set unseen = ( `pick unseen` )
show $* $unseen[1]
