This may be a problem external to Emacs. What version of VM are you using? The handling of message attachments is handled by your option settings, such as vm-mime-internal-content-types and vm-mime-external-content-types-alist etc. What are your settings for these variables? Do you have emacs-w3m installed for handling html? > Moreover, VM provides some nifty features that I haven't yet found out > how to do with Gnus: > > - Automatically infer the name of the file to save a message into, > depending on the sender name (and using the mail-folder property in > the BBDB, if any). > > - In the summary, display the name of the recipient if the sender is me > ('me' being a list of mail addresses).

Absolutely. I haven't tried the other mail clients. So I can't speak for them. But VM does have myriads of little features that make life convenient. Cheers, Uday
