David,
Thanks for you reply. It works, but I get an error 'key not defined'
with the second part of the macro:
"{snip!}...<display-message><enter-command>unset display_filter<enter>"
If I remove the commands above from the macro, the filter works and I
can see the formatted text when I go back to the previous messages and
then back to the original message.
Also, the command par could be replaced by a sed command, or a
VIM-macro that does 'gqap', sends the output to STDOUT and then exits?
I am not sure if anyone has tried this?
Regards,
Ton
