VM is a Lisp-based mail reading interface that runs under GNU Emacs and XEmacs. VM supports multiple folder formats, understands MIME and allows you to retrieve message from mail servers using either POP or IMAP. VM's official home on the net is the website http://www.wonderworks.com/vm. Please visit that site for the latest documentation about VM and to retrieve the latest version of the software. Here is a description of the files in this directory. vm.tar.gz The latest version of VM. vm-7.19.tar.gz Version 7.19 of VM. vm-7.19-pkg.tar.gz Version 7.19 of VM bundled as an XEmacs-style package. xemacs-vm.elc A precompiled file for XEmacs users who don't want to build VM or can't for some reason. Load this and you're ready to go. FOr XEmacs 21 and beyond you're better of installing the XEmacs package, which includes the documentation and art. emacs19-vm.elc An Emacs 19 compatible precompiled file. emacs20-vm.elc An Emacs 20 and beyond compatible precompiled file. CHANGES.gz The tortuous revision trail of VM. diffs Directory of patches to upgrade from one VM version to the next. vm.texinfo The Texinfo source for VM's user manual. vm.info The Info file produced by processing vm.texinfo. Suitable for installation in the info dir of your Emacs installation. pixmaps-small.tar.gz Smaller (33x33) XEmacs toolbar buttons for those who don't like VM's normal set of big friendly buttons. pixmaps-small-fuzzy.tar.gz A somewhat different set of smaller (33x33) XEmacs toolbar buttons. These buttons look more like the normal VM toolbar buttons that the other "small" set , but eat a lot of colors. A 16-bit deep display or better is recommended. windows.tar.gz Sample window configuration files for use with VM. md5.tar.gz Sources for RSA's MD5 program, which generates file checksums that VM uses for APOP style POP user authentication and to generate unique message IDs in some cases. Recent versions of Emacs and XEmacs have builtin MD5 support, so installation is probably unnecessary for recent Emacs versions.
