~A	all messages
~b EXPR	messages which contain EXPR in the message body
~B EXPR	messages which contain EXPR in the whole message
~c USER	messages carbon-copied to USER
~C EXPR	message is either to: or cc: EXPR
~D	deleted messages
~d [MIN]-[MAX]	messages with ``date-sent'' in a Date range
~E	expired messages
~e EXPR	message which contains EXPR in the ``Sender'' field
~F	flagged messages
~f USER	messages originating from USER
~g	PGP signed messages
~G	PGP encrypted messages
~h EXPR	messages which contain EXPR in the message header
~k	message contains PGP key material
~i ID	message which match ID in the ``Message-ID'' field
~L EXPR	message is either originated or received by EXPR
~l	message is addressed to a known mailing list
~m [MIN]-[MAX]	message in the range MIN to MAX *)
~n [MIN]-[MAX]	messages with a score in the range MIN to MAX *)
~N	new messages
