:Is this really what you do?  Waste time writing messages to /dev/null
:(it isn't lightning-fast!), just to un-tag the messages?  My favorite
:way to untag all tagged messages is ";t", which means "apply the 'tag'
:command to all tagged messages".  It's quick and painless.  :)

I'm on a few dozen mailing lists.  Even when parsed out with Procmail, I
still end up with mailboxes with hundreds of messages each.  Often I
will tag lots of messages with certain subjects (usually when the thread
has become a flame fest), then do a ";d".  But I'd like that action to
also untag the messages at the same time, which ";s" does.

(Yes, I'm almost too lazy to do ";t" ;-)

BTW, I noticed that if I try to ";s" to /dev/null, it fails!
