VM was written by Kyle Jones! Hail Kyle! The last release from Kyle was 7.19.
VM's home page up to version 7.19 on the World Wide Web is at
http://www.wonderworks.com/vm and the FAQ is still hosted there.
This VM is based on my (Robert Widhopf-Fenk) patches against VM 7.19.
The persons who have contributed to this version of VM are:
* Aidan Kehoe
* Glenn ???
* Jens Gustedt
* John J Foerch
* Kevin Rogers
* Kyle Jones
* Rob Hodges
* Robert Marshall
* Robert P. Goldman
* Robert Widhopf-Fenk
Please mail me a note, if I have forgotten someone or accidently put you on
the list.
Read INSTALL and follow the instructions to compile and setup VM.
*******************************************************************************
BUGS
If you have any problems or meet a bug it is best to discuss them on the USENET
groups gnu.emacs.vm.bugs or gnu.emacs.vm.info! Also search the groups before
posting as there might have been some discussion and a fix before.
Report any problems or bugs otherwise they cannot be fixed!
Please provide the version number of VM and Emacs and how to reproduce the
problem.
Personally I am an follower of the XEmacs church and thus some things may not
work with GNU Emacs, nevertheless I test VM also on GNU Emacs from time to
time and I am happy to merge you fixes.
*******************************************************************************
Homepage
The new homepage of VM is at http://www.nongnu.org/viewmail/ hosted by
Savannah. There is a bugtracker and other stuff, but I prefer the news
groups!
*******************************************************************************
Wiki
The Wiki at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?id=CategoryViewMail is
best suited to conserve code snippets, cooking guides or feature requests.
*******************************************************************************
BZR (http://bazaar-vcs.org/)
I maintain my changes with BZR now, since CVS and SVN suck and TLA/BAZ do as well.
If you want to send me changes or start hacking on your own you may want to
branch from my repository at http://www.robf.de/Hacking/bazaar/vm-repo.
# create your own branch from the trunk
bzr get http://www.robf.de/Hacking/bazaar/vm-repo/vm-trunk
# get updates
bzr pull
# start hacking
xemacs vm-pgg.el
# commit your changes
bzr commit
# Generate a bundle of your changes for merging
bzr bundle-revisions --output=xy-changes.diff
# Attach the bundle to a mail (rather than doing cut&paste) and send
# it to hack@robf.de with a descriptive subject.
*******************************************************************************
COMMENTS
The documentation of my changes is incomplete and the changes may even cause
new problems or bugs.
This VM provides the following hacks & enhancements and other stuff not
listed here, as I am quite lazy in writing docs. ;c)
Additional extensions for VM written by myself:
- vm-pine.el for draft handling and other Pine inspired functions.
- vm-ps-print.el for nice ps-printing functions
- vm-rfaddons.el adds various add-ons to VM
- vm-grepmail a grepmail interface for VM
- vm-avirtual.el brings additional virtual folder selectors and functions
for spam tagging
- vm-biff.el is a xbiff within VM, notifying you of new mail
- vm-serial.el templates for mails, personalized serial mails
- vm-summary-faces.el face base on virtual selectors
Additional extensions for VM from other people:
- vm-pcrisis.el by Rob Hodges for people with personal crisis which need
to rewrite headers automatically.
- vcard.el by Noah Friedman <friedman@splode.com> for
vm-vcard.el displaying vcards within VM.
Changes of the VM core (incomplete):
- make-autoloads: enhanced output & ignore links
- vm-mime.el:
* vm-pine patch for attachment handling of continued message drafts
* mime button displaying file name of attachment
* write mime filter
* qp-decoding of disposition parameters like filename etc.
- vm-mouse.el: handling of email-addresses like "mailto:" URLs
- vm-page.el: vm-energize-urls is interactive now, this allows you to easily
check URLs in a message you are currently composing.
- vm-reply.el:
* Proper setting of subject & references when replying to multiple
messages.
* Filtering of MIME types when yanking a message. Now only those
types listed in `vm-included-mime-types-list' are yanked and you
will have no attachment mess any more!
- vm-startup.el: vm-mail takes now a subject argument
- vm-vars.el: two new variables for customization (see vm-reply)
* vm-included-mime-types-list
