Paket: vm (6.62-4)

A mail user agent for Emacs

VM (View Mail) is an Emacs subsystem that allows UNIX mail to be read and disposed of within Emacs. Commands exist to do the normal things expected of a mail user agent, such as generating replies, saving messages to folders, deleting messages and so on. There are other more advanced commands that do tasks like bursting and creating digests, message forwarding, and organizing message presentation according to various criteria.

It should also be mentioned here that the documentation for vm is woefully behind the times; there fore we include /usr/doc/vm/vm-vars.el.gz, which has information about all customizable variables in vm. Also, VM 6.x versions have problems with the library tm-vm from the Tiny Mime (TM) package, since that version was written for VM 5.X.

This package comes (by default) bundled in with with XEmacs, and is not yet supported on emacs20.
