Hi, I've just started using the VM mail reader, version 4.11, and I have a couple of questions about it: 1) I've had trouble getting VM's auto-folder feature to work as advertised. Being a elisp novice, I haven't been able to decode the format for the variable vm-auto-folder-alist, which is supposed to be: > ((HEADER-NAME > (REGEXP . FOLDER-NAME) ... > ...)) > where HEADER-NAME, REGEXP, and FOLDER-NAME are all strings. > Could someone please post an example of how to do this properly? 2) Is there a more recent version of VM available? If it's in the elisp archive, could someone please post the internet address of the archive? I seem to have lost it. Thanks in advance, Rob. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Enns, Bell Northern Research, Ottawa, Ontario UUCP: ...utgpu!bnr-vpa!bnr-fos!wilde!robe NetNorth: robe@BNR.CA Internet: robe%wilde%bnr-fos%bnr-vpa@watmath.waterloo.edu

1) I've had trouble getting VM's auto-folder feature to work as
advertised. Being a elisp novice, I haven't been able to decode the
format for the variable vm-auto-folder-alist, which is supposed to be:
Could someone please post an example of how to do this properly?
I'm sure we'll see plenty of people's vm-auto-folder-alist's. Here's mine:
(this is part of a very big setq...)
vm-auto-folder-alist '(
("To" ("root" . "root"))
("Cc"
("root" . "root")
("system" . "root"))
("Subject"
("archived" . "archive")
("wild files$" . "adm")
("^setuid/setgid" . "adm")
("accounting$" . "adm")
("^UUCP Summary$" . "adm")
("^mail stats$" . "adm")
("^mcp check$" . "adm")
("backups log$" . "adm")
("^News Errlog$" . "adm")
("^UUCP map for" . "maps")
("^restore req" . "root")))
Yes, I know I can coalesce those "adm" entries with better regexp's,
but I'm lazy...
2) Is there a more recent version of VM available? If it's in the
elisp archive, could someone please post the internet address of
the archive? I seem to have lost it.
It's currently VM-4.41, available via anonymous ftp from
xanth.cs.odu.edu and cfdl.larc.nasa.gov, along with all the patches to
get you to that release if you have an earlier version. If you're
really running VM-4.11, you're VERY out of date...
