I'm trying to figure out what has happened to vm-reply-include-presentation and vm-followup-include presentation.
The describe-function documentation is a bit unclear, since it seems to imply that a function is obsoleted and replaced by a variable, which is a bit non-obvious to understand. If I am understanding the message, it seems that the obsoleted functions are replaced by a single *function* vm-reply-include-text and the behavior supersedes vm-reply-include-presentation *and* vm-followup-include-presentation depending on the value of the *variable* vm-reply-include-presentation. All of this is ok so far, but it seems at least from the function documentation that we are *losing* the ability to follow-up to multiple marked messages which was a really *unique* and *nice* feature of vm. Specifically, one could mark several messages in a thread (for example) and reply to all of them at once. If I am understanding this correctly, I am not sure why one would want to regress this function? I think that as a general philosophy, functions should only be obsoleted if they are replaced by *superior* functionality and not if functionality is lost. In other words, if it ain't broke, please don't fix it or at least please don't obsolete it... Please correct me if I am misunderstanding... Thanks, Jeff
