\r
73 In fact it *is* but we'd be fetching the `matched-msgids' property
\r
74 rather than the `thread-id' property, for each line in region.

\r
82 The matched MsgIds will be sufficient, as we'll want to operate on
\r
83 either the matched messages or the entire thread (for which the
\r
84 `thread-id' property is already present).
\r
86 Can't think of a use case for non-matched messages right now,
\r
87 but if required, we'll just use `set-exclusive-or'.
