In fact, your previous post is closer to what I want.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough... Let me try again.
First, I have is an autocommand to execute a function for, say, every
email I open:
au FileType mail call MyMutt()
Then, my function called MyMutt() executes a bunch of commands,
among them, a perl script to clean adds, signatures, etc. These
work of course by searching for strings and making substitutions.
So, every time I edit an email, these search strings and commands
are stored... Very annoying, and keeps filling my 'good' history
with trash.
So, I want to avoid this. I don't want to store specifically these
commands/searches/substitutions of MyMutt() function into my history.
Hence, I want a "don't-store-the-following-until-I-tell-you" command.
I tried adding a 'rv!' at the end of the MyMutt() function
(tried also with 'wv!' in the beginning, and setting 'history=0'
as you suggested with same result). It works in a strange way...
It keeps cycling between 2 viminfo files, have no idea why.
I mean: I open an email for writting, and I have some search patterns
A,B,C... already stored in the history. I close vim. I open vim in a
mail again, and I have old patterns D,E,F... in history. I close the
email, and open another. Then, I have again the previous patterns
A,B,C... At least, with 'rv!' it forgets the patterns from the
MyMutt() function, as I wanted.
Any clues?
Thanks!
L.
