splitting windows 'my way' in vm5?

I'm used to the GNUS/RMAIL style of window splitting, where if I do,
say, 'r' or 'm', I get a new window, instead of having the new buffer
take over the entire screen.  This is useful for non-quoted replies
where I want to know what I'm replying to but don't need to include
it... which I do a lot of.  Or messages forwarded to me, where I should
respond to the original author.  As I recall, GNUS will take over the
entire screen for F and R, but only half the screen for f and r; IMHO,
the "right thing".

Is there a reasonable (not requiring me to gronk through the code
changing 'switch-to-buffer' to 'switch-to-buffer-other-window', etc) way
of doing this?  A variable would be preferable.

(The texinfo manual is good, but not very deep; it doesn't mention B at
all, for example.)

I'm using VM 5.32 (beta) with the jwz forwarding fixes.
