Hi. With the default key bindings `;` is the prefix to apply a command
to the tagged messages, but the messages must already be tagged.

The commands to tag messages are different: t for a single message,
<esc>t for a thread, T to tag a pattern. For “all my unread emails”,
that would probably be T and ~N.
