VM doesn't do HTML/MIME very well, although I understand in later versions of XEmacs they've incorporated some packages that handle things better. (I'm still using XEmacs 19.16, from the dark ages...) Mime handling works, but is clumsy, and HTML is almost non-existent.

I can only second Nate: I use procmail to filter all incoming mail in seperate folders (mailinglists, admin-mails, ...), use SpamBouncer (procmail script; http://www-new.hrweb.org/spambouncer/) to filter out spam and Emacs/VM to read my mails. Together, these tools do a _very_ good job in organizing my mails. This approach at least halved the time I need to wade through mails every day. Regarding configurability: If SpamBouncer doesn't get all spam, a simple "Z" in VM will mail all postmasters/abuse-accounts on the mailpath, informing them about abuse. You can do this and essentially every other task by using the provided 'hooks'. Ok, it takes a bit of lisp programming ... Another benefit of this approach is, that I can process mails further, without leaving Emacs. Say, if someone mailed me sourcecode, I can edit it, compile, run and delete it - all in Emacs. :-) But then, I'm an Emacs addict (typing this in GNUS, the Emacs newsreader). :-) -Walter [knowing that he's starting a holy war!] -- Dr. Walter Hafner Tel: 089/289-28187 WWW-Beauftragter, TU Muenchen Email: haf...@in.tum.de WWW: http://www.tum.de/~hafner/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
