There is nothing in the documentation of vm-search-other-frames which says that it should cause this behaviour. Further, the default setting of the variable should work reasonably. So, there is still a problem somewhere. VM's startup routine is slightly damaged. There were some entanglements that were introduced in 8.0.x or 8.1.x, which weren't there in Kyle's versions. They have been causing all kinds of bad behaviour. The following recent bug report is an example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vm/+bug/502371 To fix these problems, I have been changing the startup sequence which worked fine in 7.19, but doesn't work correctly now. In fact, I had been making such changes ever since I started using 8.1-devo and Rob was still in charge. This is not ideal. We need to find those entanglements that broke the original startup sequence and correct them. But it will likely take a long time. So, I encourage you to get to the bottom of this problem. I still haven't received anything from you via the vm@lists.launchpad.net address. I need to try things out with your settings to see where the problems might be. It occurs to me that if you are spoofing your 'From' address, launchpad might be rejecting your mail, thinking it is spam. Or, you can send it to my personal address, which is always advertised. (You need to replace 'DOT' with '.') Cheers, Uday
