Here is a not too elegent solution:

When you find a message as you describe, press
|
this will give you the Piping input box.

In that box write:
list %s

then press
[Enter]

This will pipe the current message to the 'list' file viewer. I assume that
'list.com' is somewhere on your path. Of course, you can substitute your
favorite viewer instead of list.

You have to write 'list %s' only once in a yarn session. The second time
you press |, you will be prompted with the string 'list %s', and all you
have to do is press the [Enter] Key.

Now what I would like is for Chin to arrange for some deinable hotkeys. For
example, Press Alt L, and the message has been piped, to list, and list is
executing. :)
