Well, if you have MacOSX Tiger, there's a freeware utility called Vi Input Manager: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22864/vi-input-manager This lets you call a decent subset of vim in any text field in any Cocoa application, which inlcudes Safari and Camino (the latter is Mac-ified Firefox, in a manner of speaking). So long as you use a Cocoa-based browser to check Gmail, you should be able to do the most useful vimmaneuvers on your email. I have no idea if there are utilities like this for other platforms. -Greg
