Just thought I'd give this update in case anybody has been wondering about vm/rmail/mh-e. vm (available as described in a previous posting) seems to be a nice alternative to rmail, since it is about the same size, subjectively. It has mostly the same capabilities, give or take a few features. It has UNIX-style (efficient) storage, and does not appear to have rmail's bugs. The header buffer tracks changes in the "article" buffer. It has some nice touches, and comes with documentation. There is one thing that rmail seems to do better, which is to use rmail-ignored-headers. vm uses vm-visible-headers instead, which has the opposite meaning. I like to see unusual and unexpected headers. It does not convert rmail files. It does not have arbitrary labels. Hope it helps. -- Neither representing any company nor, necessarily, myself.
