.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
prints the messages
.Ar msgs
where the value of
.Ar header
matches the POSIX Extended Regular Expression
.Ar regex .
.Pp
If
.Ar header
is empty,
.Nm
will instead match against the Maildir flags of the messages.
.Pp
If
.Ar header
is
.Sq Li "/" ,
.Nm
will instead search the plain text parts of the
.Em body
of the messages.
.Pp
See
.Xr mmsg 7
for the message argument syntax.
If no
.Ar msgs
are passed, and
.Nm
is used interactively,

will default to the current sequence.
