Yes: everything found in all.lst is also included in mangled.lst,
although not all words from all.lst are in fact mangled (some are
merely included as they are).

As explained above, yes, it is. But please see below for more detail.
You may want to browse these files with any text file viewer (such as
with "less -n FILENAME" on a Unix-like system), -- the files start
with comments explaining the content. For example, for mangled.lst,
the comment lines are as follows:
#!comment: This list has been compiled by Solar Designer of Openwall Project,
#!comment: http://www.openwall.com/wordlists/
#!comment:
#!comment: Input wordlist files passed through word mangling rules, in order:

#!comment: languages/English/2-small/lower.lst
#!comment: languages/English/2-small/cap.lst

#!comment: languages/English/3-large/cap.lst
#!comment: languages/English/3-large/alnum.lst
#!comment: languages/English/3-large/acronym.lst
#!comment:
#!comment: Additionally, all unique words from all.lst are included after the
#!comment: mangled tiny English wordlists.
This last comment would have answered your question.
Basically, it's the smaller lists for the more common languages which
have the mangling rules pre-applied, while less common words are
merely included as they are. If you want to apply the mangling rules
to _everything_ found in all.lst, you can either run JtR's wordlist
rules against all.lst (instead of mangled.lst), or you can run them
against mangled.lst (double-mangling the more common words - which may
in fact be desired).
Unfortunately, all.lst with all entries pre-mangled would exceed the
size of a CD by far.
Hope this helps.
