[VM] VM does not work with most recent emacs versions?
hi all, I reported this as bugs on launchpad a couple of times: vm does not seem to work for me with 24.4 and 24.5, only with 24.3. Has anyone else seen this problem? cheers, E

BTW, the manual on IMAP-FCC did not seem to say *how* to add this field automatically. I eventually found mail-default-headers, but perhaps it would be good to mention it explicitly? thanks, E An update: according to google http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=enanswer=78892 there is no need to save sent mail to teh sent mail imap folder when using the gmail smtp server to send messages. However, I sometimes need to use a different smtp server due to a firewall issue. so trying IMAP-FCC: [Gmail]/Sent Mail doesn't work for me, unfortunately, not sure what I am doing wrong.

I have no idea why it is so slow. brilliant of you... So if I set enter debug on c-g and then do control-g while it's taking forever, I get this: u-vm-color-fontify-regexp(69482 79728781 ^ *[-A-Za-z0-9]* *.*$ ((0 u-vm-color- citation-1-face))) my inbox is about 79Mb large; 69482 is the beginning of the text of the first message in the inbox, right after its header.In this case I am applying D to the very last message. Does this mean that u-vm-color is trying to fontify the entire inbox rather than only the message that is being toggled with D? so the recommended advice in the u-vm-color file header is to use ;; (defadvice vm-decode-mime-message (after u-vm-color activate) ;;(u-vm-color-fontify-buffer-even-more)) this function does (widen), and perhaps that's too much of a widening? if I change to this advice: (defadvice vm-decode-mime-message (after u-vm-color activate) (u-vm-color-fontify-buffer)) I think things are a bit better. perhaps you can see if this works for you too.

I have it on my to-do list to investigate it. One guess is is that u-vm-color doesn't handle attachments well. You might try turning it off and seeing if it makes a difference. Hi Uday, this seems to even happen for a message of the type Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 with no attachments and a length of about 100 characters. as far as I could see the slow part is in the following lines at the very end of vm-decode-mime-message: (vm-display nil nil '(vm-decode-mime-message) '(vm-decode-mime-message reading-message))) although I couldn't go beyond that in spite of several tries. thanks for the ideas below, they don't exactly address the issue, but it's not critical in any case. cheers, E A possible idea here is to *always* display buttons for non-text/plain parts, so that we can easily fire up external viewers. I will put it on the wishlist. also, could anyone suggest how I might: (1) define a function that displays a given message using an external browser, so that I can bind it to some key; (2) is it possible to view every message both in the presentation buffer and in an external browser, simultaneously, side by side? on a large monitor this may be a great option to have...? cheers, E There is no built-in function to display a message in an external viewer. One has to get the button view first (using `D') and then do ']' and '$e'. You can try making a keyboard macro for it if it is needed often. Viewing the message in both VM and external browser is easy if it is a multipart/alternative message. Just set `vm-mime-multipart-show-method' to `all' and use the external browser for html. You get the plain text version shown in VM and the html version shown externally. If it is not a multipart/alternative message and the message has just one text/html part, then there is currently no way to feed it to an external viewer while also displaying it in VM. Cheers, Uday
