hi all, is there a vm-user-agent that is the equivalent of the
followings? thanks...

mail-user-agent is a variable defined in `simple.el'.

Valid values include:

`sendmail-user-agent' -- use the default Emacs Mail package.
See Info node `(emacs)Sending Mail'.
`mh-e-user-agent' -- use the Emacs interface to the MH mail
system.
See Info node `(mh-e)'.
`message-user-agent' -- use the Gnus Message package.
See Info node `(message)'.
`gnus-user-agent' -- like `message-user-agent', but with Gnus
paraphernalia, particularly the Gcc: header
for
archiving.

Additional valid symbols may be available; check with the author of
your package for details. The function should return non-nil if it
succeeds.

Yes, there is

(setq mail-user-agent 'vm-user-agent)

thanks, this sort of works. somehow adding the following to my .emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/vm/lisp/"))
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list (expand-file-name
"~/.emacs.d/vm/info/"))
(require 'vm-autoloads)
(setq mail-user-agent 'vm-user-agent)

wasn't sufficient. the vm-user-agent was recognized in a given emacs
session only after I read mail with vm once. also, I couldn't use
customize to set mail-user-agent to 'vm-user-agent...?

excellent, this works. might be a good idea to add this to the
INSTALL instructions file...
