I'm trying to configure the vm newsreader in GNU Emacs 20.7.1 , on mandrake 8.1 I download the mail fetchmail, filter with procmail, and that all seems to work. I reckon I've also got a correct .vm file, that tells emacs movemail program to shift the mail from various spools to vm folders. But the mail doesn't get there. And, I think the problem might be with movemail. What tests can I do, to find out if movemail runs when I ask it to? (Or rather, when vm tells it to) -- munged email address: thought_AT_paradise_co_nz
