what there should be to make vm perfect: there should be a way to look at your outbox and send mail (optionally with the message included as a retry) again to the same person, or to do a similar thing with mail that you cc'ed to yourself. this is for those of use who don't use aliases or bbdb or whatever, and for those of us who attach postscripts. i've modified jamie's header stuff to show "> user" for mail and ">! newsgroup" for articles, so that you can keep sent mail and sent articles in the same file and tell the difference. ask if you want it. this should be in vm. replying to bounced messages can maybe be added to the r and R keys. Then maybe the feature i suggest 2 paragraphs above can be on m-r and m-R. just a possibile key map. there should be a command to see the message a message is in reply to. there should be a command to see all of the messages in a conversation, by putting them into a virtual folder. there should be a command to add the message id near point to that virtual folder. there should be a way to do a recursive grep a la lookfor-dired (e.g. with find vm-maildir -type f -print | xargs grep -i regexp) and to put all messages under the vm folder directory (with arg, _in_ just one specified directory) that match the given regexp, into a virtual folder. this would be superfantabulous and is basically just a merging of lookfor-dired and the vm search stuff, and virtual folders. that's it. i like vm. i'd be ecstatic to see these features. -- o Seek cottage, or shared housing with ethical nonsmokers, in WS/PA/PV/LAH/PAH. o Guitarist seeks bassist or other instrumentalist for practice, in above area. o Research: optimization, NP-complete search, scheduling, planning, learning.
