I have recently switched to VM from RMAIL since I think VM is a lot better. I have a few suggestions/comments: (1) It would be nice to have a RMAIL-to-VM translator. I wrote one myself as I imagine most people have to or they are put off by the seeming difficulty. (2) The slightly different key bindings from RMAIl are very confusing and, I think, unnecessary. Why doesn't 'f' do a 'find' (i.e. same as your ' '). This is wired into RMAIL, dired and the list-buffer mode so it should work here to for consistency. Similarly, 'x' should expunge. I know I can rebind to this, but it should be standard. (3) Reinvoking 'vm' should check for new messages. (4) Startup is too slow - maybe that's life. Gripes aside, I do like it! And now that we are at the end, how about RMAIL style - insert signature (with the same key binding!).
