Re: You can try VM. Re: Gnus for mail: How do I setup my system.
Hi,
So what is wrong with Debian's packaged VM? VM has been in
Debian since July 1995 at leaset (in 5.92beta, I think).
If there is something wrong with the prepackages VM, I would
appreciate a bug report.

Description: 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.
