I'm surprised to hear that; many of the functions don't look like his style to me. Also, many of the problems I experience with Japanese and other non-ISO8859-compatible codings started only after VM 8 was installed in the XEmacs packages. (That's not a proof, since XEmacs has also changed dramatically over that period of time.) > There is only one publicly known instance of somebody losing email or > having mail corrupted. And that is an excellent record. Oh, I'd say I have my INBOX corrupted at least once a month, actually. It's pretty much guaranteed if you do vm-recover-folder with 7-bit ISO-2022 encodings in the auto-save file. > Our first priority in the current development is to catch up with all > the functionality that has been missed since Kyle Jones signed off, > IMAP being the first and maildir being next.

But I would put my money on you regretting that decision. The MIME code at least is very fragile and non-conformant. Cleaner code, eg, borrowing emacs-mime, mm, and rfc2231.el at least from gnus would probably make life a lot easier in the long run. > We do have a plan to switch VM from sendmail to message-mode.

In .vm: ;; Use message mode by default (add-hook 'vm-mail-mode-hook 'message-mode) ;; Use C-x C-e to clear hooks ; (remove-hook 'vm-mail-mode-hook 'message-mode) The reason I need to use VM native occasionally is that the interface for pre-formatted MIME bodies (such as digests) differs between VM native and message-mode. Since I send digests and forwards quite rarely, I haven't bothered to do any more than make it convenient to switch. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~vm Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~vm More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
