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.
