You mean M C ??
It's there in 8.1.1...

Gosh, the function is called `vm-mark-matching-messages' and I would have
never thought "matching" means matching a virtual folder selector!
Would people mind if I rename it to `vm-mark-messages-by-selector'?

The attached patch (relative to yesterday's state of the orgmode git
repository) adds the possibility to have org-mode links to IMAP folders in
VM and to messages inside IMAP folders. It requires VM 8.2.0a or later.
IMAP links have the format
vm-imap:account:imap-folder-name

Hi Uday,
For me, compatibility with mbox format is feature. I often use
other applications to scan VM mail folders, such a procmail. So
it's not necessarily just mail reading clients. A program to
convert back to mbox would suffice. Although it would still
remain important for VM to be able t

Good experiment, John. It is interesting that VM didn't choke on the UTF-8
message whereas Thunderbird did! I should save a link to this UTF-8 demo
file.

Thunderbird does (now)
