You could tag them with 'T~m 3-7 | ~m 10 | ~m 12-16' then a ;s would
save them all to wherever you wanted, marking them for deletion. Then, a
normal sync ($) would delete them. Of course, you'd want to make sure you
didn't have any messages tagged when you started else you would end up
saving them along with the ones you wanted.
