I don't know of a way to indicate in a pattern the currently
selected message, however, you could easily just type in the
message number. For example, to delete all listed messages from
message #20 to message #49, inclusive, start the <delete-pattern>
function, which is bound to "D" by default. Then, for the
pattern, use "~m 20-49". Of course, if you have collapsed
threads within that range or a limiting filter active, the
messages that are hidden from view won't be marked for deleteion,
so uncollapsing threads or removing the limit might be desired
first.
Reading the section of the manual about Patterns would likely be
helpful.
