update: Update the top window in one of the two ways:
1. If you want to select a group of messages whose headers contain special string and
display the headers in the top window, you can insert into the input box with
grep string and then select the update box. (Note that grep is the name of the standard
UNIX command that globally finds a regular expression and prints. The special string
can indeed contain regular expression). For example, if the special string is
"Project A", you can insert the string 'grep "Project A"' into the input box:

You next select the update box to display the headers of all of those messages in
the top window. You can finally view, delete, save, or edit these messages as a single
unit by selecting the respective box. To again display the complete header list of all
messages in your mail box in the top window, you can either use the method described
in the next paragraph or select the delete box (perhaps after a save) if you don't
want to keep those messages in the mail box.
2. If the content of the input box either is empty or does not begin with the word grep,
then by selecting the update box you can update the complete header list of all messages
in your mail box and display the new list in the top window.
