Requests for addition should be addressed to . Submissions to . 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 If you're really running VM-4.11, you're VERY out of date... ...tad
