            Bug ID: 271127
           Summary: man-page for mail(1)/mailx(1) doesn't document :r and
                    friends
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd@tim.thechases.com
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

Invoking mail(1), you can specify messages such as

    & f :u

(to list unread messages) or

    & p :o

(to print Old messages) or

    & d :r

(to delete messages that have been read), etc.  So they work, but AFAICT,
there's no documentation on them in the man-page

    $ man mail | grep ':r'

I imagine the text can be cribbed from [OpenBSD's man-pages for
`mail(1)`](https://man.openbsd.org/mail.1#Specifying_messages)
