Message specifiers "+" and "-" don't work right in Mail

Description:
	The message specifiers "+" and "-" refer to the next and
	previous message, respectively, rather than to the next and
	previous applicable message.  This means, for instance,
	that if the previous message was deleted, "-" will give an
	error instead of giving the message before the deleted one.
Repeat-By:
	Do the obvious.
Fix:
	Here's the patch.
