A small modification to bart's message -- he has:
>     cmd cut 'save -f \!* /tmp/cut$$ | d'
>     cmd paste 'save \!* -$ {`:d`} /tmp/cut$$ | d; Paste'
>     cmd Paste 'merge -N /tmp/cut$$'
But this doesn't take into account the fact that you may already have
deleted messages.  Instead, I recommend:

    cmd cut 'save -f \!* /tmp/cut$$ | d | set cut_msgs'
    cmd paste 'save \!* -$ { $cut_msgs } /tmp/cut$$ | d; Paste'
