     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.
