Yes, there is
(setq mail-user-agent 'vm-user-agent)
Robert.
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...?
You must load (require 'vm) as it is not defined by the autoloads
currently.
Robert.
excellent, this works. might be a good idea to add this to the
INSTALL instructions file...
many thanks...
