3.4.5: 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.
