Many thanks i really appreciate your reply. I should have put the OS
etc. I'm currently just about to upgrade and just wanted to have a
look at VM before i do a new release install on my new PC. I do wonder
if the emacs email clients are rather too complicated for me. i chose
VM as i thought it was easier to set up than Gnus, WL, MH-E.

OS xubuntu 10.04, emacs 23.1, VM 8.0.13-1, stunnel4 3:4.29-1

I'm looking through those links you gave me.
