Kyle, would you be willing to change the definition of
vm-menu-url-browser-menu from "defconst" to "defvar"?  I replace the
menu altogether in my .vm, rather than just adding to it.

If I put this in my .vm:

(setq vm-menu-url-browser-menu
      (let ((title (list "Send URL to ...")))
        (append
    ...


it can't replace the original definition if it's defconst.  If I
change the defconst to defvar in vm-menu.el, everything's A-OK.

I don't mind editing vm-menu.el and making the small change every
release, but is there some reason why it can't/shouldn't be defvar?

Or is there some other, better way to replace the whole menu?


Todd
