how about implementing a (small) history mechanism for the '!' and
'|' commands in ELM?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've often been annoyed at
having to type '|' 'unshar -d xxx' to every message in one of my news
archives separately, when 'xxx' is always the same directory. It
would be much more comfortable if ELM remembered the last command
I piped a message to (or executed as shell escape) and presented
that as default, letting me change it if I choose to.

How about it, ELM team? Could this be in ELM 2.3?

Cheers
