   VM's grouping code does not do *sorting*.  Your request is a common
   wish, so common in fact that a number of people (including me) have
   posted modifications to VM to make it do sorting by date.  The best
   thing to do would be to incorporate some of these modifications
   into VM.  Jamie's seem the most thorough, since they incorporate
   timezone handling.

I just tried Jamie's and it works like a charm! This should definately
be in the next version of VM. Still, grouping (just presenting the
summary in a different order) should not go away since it is useful on
certain occasions to view a buffere differently.

In any case, the bug in vm-group code which does not properly reorder
messages in the summary buffer should be fixed.


On a different issue, why is VM now one large vm.elc file? I hardly
every use some features (like marks) and it seems a waste to load
everything in and not use the nice autoloading capabilities of Emacs.
Is this only an interim solution for the weekly beta releases?

thanks
