VM's naming convention for old messages ("sent mail to ..." "resent mail to..." etc.) is very intuitive and saves you the bother of thinking up a reasonable name while using rename uniquely. This is trivial to add, but I dunno how it will go over. I was going to add it to sendmail.el a long time back and stopped on seeing that code that did something similar was already there in sendmail.el. Here's the comment that accompanied the code: ;;; This is commented out because I found it was confusing in practice. ;;; It is easy enough to rename *mail* by hand with rename-buffer ;;; if you want to have multiple mail buffers. ;;; And then you can control which messages to save. --rms. This was probably because the old code doesn't cleanup/reuse old buffers (unlike VM). > but then, I guess it could leave people with zillions of > unkilled buffers (I don't seem to notice them building up, really) VM lets you specify how many old buffers you wish to retain; it keeps a list of all buffers it created and recycles the very oldest one when it needs a new mail composition buffer. -Sudish
