For the given messages, what sequences contain all of them.

    all='first 42 3141'
    mark |
    sed 's/: .*//; /^cur$/d; /^lp$/d' |
    while read -r s; do
        pick -seq lp $all > >(grep -Ev '^[0-9]+ hits?$') &&
        mark -seq lp -del $s &&
        mark -seq lp -list |
        sed -n '/: $/s/.*/'$s'/p';
    done

Not tested much, most of my sequences are mutually exclusive.

Cheers, Ralph.
