Just catching up with this old email. How the windows get displayed is controlled by the Frame Configuration. When you get new mail, VM resets all the frames as per the Frame Configuration settings. So, if you want a separate window for summary, you probably need to set `vm-frame-per-summary'. Cheers, Uday

My question is about the window configuration rather than moving around the summary window - I have a frame set up as I want with just the summary visible and I don't want just getting email to cause the frame /window layout to change. The real content of my issue lies in the snipped bit: when I vm-get-new-mail and if there is new mail, vm then splits that window, and shows the presentation window under it, I want to prevent this and at the moment I'm using vm-arrived-messages-hook to do this. It might be nice (IMHO) if running vm-summarize when the summary buffer is already visible - when it doesn't appear to do anything - for it just to show the summary buffer - in which case my issue would be more or less solved. I had been doing C-x 1 which doesn't (for me lie well under the fingers) Robert -- La grenouille songe..dans son château d'eau Robert Marshall twitter: @rajm

[VM] Overridding vm's messing with windows
I use vm's summary mode and most of the time I have a frame with just that buffer visible. I've found a minor annoyance is that when I vm-get-new-mail and if there is new mail, vm then splits that window, and shows the presentation window under it, I have a few new emails that I've not read yet (yes I know!!) so the really new ones aren't visible I then put the window situation back to what it was and go and find the really new ones. I looked at vm-frame-per-summary but that isn't what I want. I'm quite happy with when *I* type 'space' the summary frame splits but I don't like vm deciding to do it for me! Am I missing some other configuration variable? For the moment what I'm trying is (defun rajm:keep-summary-full () (if (eq major-mode 'vm-summary-mode) (delete-other-windows))) (add-hook 'vm-arrived-messages-hook 'rajm:keep-summary-full) Robert -- La grenouille songe..dans son château d'eau Robert Marshall twitter: @rajm
