Kyle suggested that I post this... The current release of VM is now 4.16, and is available via anonymous ftp from XANTH.CS.ODU.EDU in directory /pub/vm. The last published release, 4.11, is there as well as diffs leading from 4.11 to 4.16. The README is enclosed below. Enjoy! ...tad /pub/vm: total 170 -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 1431 Jun 4 10:59 README -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 10720 Jun 4 10:58 diffs-4.11-4.12.Z -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 7488 Jun 4 10:58 diffs-4.12-4.13.Z -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 1347 Jun 4 10:58 diffs-4.13-4.14.Z -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 1677 Jun 4 10:58 diffs-4.14-4.15.Z -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 11619 Jun 4 10:58 diffs-4.15-4.16.Z -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 66705 Jun 4 10:58 vm-4.11.tar.Z -r--r--r-- 1 tadguy public 68443 Jun 4 10:58 vm-4.16.tar.Z /pub/vm/README: From: kjones@talos.UUCP (Kyle Jones) Newsgroups: gnu.emacs,comp.emacs Subject: VM 4.11 Date: 30 May 89 14:10:35 GMT This contains the Emacs-Lisp source and documentation for the VM (View Mail) mail reader. Those of you who've wanted to read mail under Emacs but didn't want to expose your mail folders to RMAIL will be cheered to hear that VM works with UNIX style mail folders in their original format. Thanks go to my faithful beta-testers, Tad Guy, Mike Walker, and Scott Yelich who cheerfully abused VM and imperiled their mail in VM's unstable early days. `M-x vm' gets you going. Type a ? for help. There's an Info document if you care to go that route, but the help should be enough for most. MMDF users should (setq vm-folder-type 'mmdf) in their .emacs files. Thanks go to Wolfgang Rupprecht for pointing out the simple changes needed to provide the support. Users with multiple spool files, or spool files in strange locations should check the variable `vm-spool-files'. Send suggestions and bug reports to one of the e-mail addresses below. BTW, there is a mailing list for VM related discussions. This is primarily a bug list for people who don't mind testing the incremental releases that come between the ones that appear here. Submissions go to info-vm@cs.odu.edu, requests to join or to be dropped from the list go to info-vm-request@cs.odu.edu. kyle jones <kyle@cs.odu.edu> ...!uunet!talos!kjones
