.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B mark
command manipulates message sequences by adding or deleting
-message numbers from folder\-specific message sequences, or by listing
+message numbers from folder-specific message sequences, or by listing
those sequences and messages.
.PP
A message sequence is a keyword, just like one of the \*(lqreserved\*(rq
message names, such as \*(lqfirst\*(rq or \*(lqnext\*(rq. Unlike the
\*(lqreserved\*(rq message names, which have a fixed semantics on
-a per\-folder basis, the semantics of a message sequence may be
+a per-folder basis, the semantics of a message sequence may be
defined, modified, and removed by the user. Message sequences are
-folder\-specific, e.g., the sequence name \*(lqseen\*(rq in the context

for the folder and the messages associated with those sequences.

-Only a certain number of sequences may be defined for a given folder.
-This number is usually limited to 27 (11 on small systems). (The

+Message ranges with user-defined sequence names are restricted to the
form \*(lqname:n\*(rq, \*(lqname:+n\*(rq, or \*(lqname:-n\*(rq, and refer
to the first or last `n' messages of the sequence `name', respectively.
Constructs of the form \*(lqname1\-name2\*(rq are forbidden for user
defined sequences.
