I'm using filters already for some things and it was my impression that
the filtering was completely automatic - I want to look at the message
before doing the pipe.  Think of it as moderating the command before I
execute it!

Or is there some way to tell a particular filter to be non-automatic and
only act when you, e.g., press ^Y?
