Mangling? Nice understatement, Brendan. A message filtred thru
md5sum is less injured. OpenPGP working group considered obsoleting
the sha512 hash by a Gnats mangle, but the evil daemon caused kernel
ooops during demo.

You get the result in input buffer, ready to be entered to comman=
d
history, or ready to be edited. The later is of course more interesti=
ng
for $index_format and such.
Scenario for the former: I usually use Maildir, but want to creat=
e a
test MMDF folder, then come back to default. I type:
| :set mb<Tab>_<Tab>=3D<Tab><Enter>=09# feeds current type to history
| :<Up><Left>^Wmmdf<Enter>=09=09# changes folder type
| C/tmp/test-mmdf-folder<Enter>=09=09# creates said folder
| :<Up><Up><Enter>=09=09=09# recalls previous type from history
Once accustomed, my fingers do it themselves. My eyes and brain h=
ave
no need to stop and think. And patch vl.savehist.1 by Vincent Lef=
=E8vre
enhances the experience.
Bye!=09Alain.
