 CONCEPTS
      mblaze deals with messages (which are files), folders (which are Maildir
      folders), sequences (which are newline-separated lists of messages,

-     current message (kept as a symlink in ${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/cur).

      Many utilities have a default behavior when used interactively from a
      terminal (e.g. operate on the current message or the current sequence).
