The following diffs allow the VM manual to be formatted with
TeX.
Also, would it be possible to allow automatic determination of
MMDF folders? This would allow me to read packf'ed MH folders. Of
course, it would be better (from my point of view) to understand MH
folders as directories, since I archive news in folders, which can get
pretty large.

I'm not keen on trying to make VM recongize truly alien folder formats. MMDF folders were simple; I don't know what a packf'ed MH folder is. Auto-determination of folder types is fairly simple to implement. It only gets complicated when it comes to saving. This is because the type of the folder being saved to has to be deterined and the message may need to be converted. Ideally this should be done efficiently and without having to read in the whole folder to decide what to do. Unfortunately Emacs doesn't have a primitive to read just the first few bytes of a file. 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

I'm not keen on trying to make VM recongize truly alien folder formats. MMDF folders were simple; I don't know what a packf'ed MH folder is. Well, they are delineated by ^A^A^A^A, so I thought they were the same as MMDF, but I don't know for sure. -- Jeff Sparkes jeff1@garfield.mun.edu || uunet!garfield!jeff1
