Upgrade to Pine 3.91.

You then get a wonderful set of commands available called Select (;), 
Apply (A) and Zoom (Z).

Select lets you select messages using a variety of criteria (and also to 
broaden (OR) or narrow (AND) searches using different criteria).

Once you have selected some messages you can use the Apply command to 
apply another command to the entire selection (eg, A E will apply an 
export command to the selected messages).

Zoom limits the index list to just the selected messages (letting you 
concentrate on those without getting distracted by others).

Note that these commands are "power-user" commands: they are not 
available by default.  You must enable them in the Configuration screen 
(S then C from the Main Menu) by setting the 
"enable-aggregate-command-set" option.
