Documentation

Non-nil means interpret a number as a range.

Since one of the most frequent ranges used is "last:N", MH-E will interpret input such as "200" as "last:200" if this option is on (which is the default). If you need to scan just the message 200, then use the range "200:200".

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
7.4.
