Files and Pipes
---------------

   The initial directory for the `mh-store-msg' command is held in
`mh-store-default-directory'.  Since I almost always run `mh-store-msg'
on sources, I set it to my personal source directory like this:

     (setq mh-store-default-directory (expand-file-name "~/src/"))

   Subsequent incarnations of `mh-store-msg' offer the last directory
used as the default.  By the way, `mh-store-msg' calls the Emacs Lisp
function `mh-store-buffer'.  I mention this because you can use it
directly if you're editing a buffer that contains a file that has been
run through `uuencode' or `shar'.  For example, you can extract the
contents of the current buffer in your home directory by typing `M-x
mh-store-buffer <RET> ~ <RET>'.
