Yeah, That's right !! Cool Combination !!
And I use the filtering also in this to seperate mail messages to folders ( something similar to procmail )
and it has the address book facility, a mini-shell and an editor and a mini file manager and what not !!
All from withing emacs !!
Boy, No wonder Emacs is a beauty !!
The only thing that remains from emacs is being able to watch my TV using GGI ;-)
BTW I use the console version with framebuffer on a 1024x768 resolution. Kewl !!
Now, I am very much worried about the uptime of my Emacs window now ;-)

P.S: Manoj the dot.vm that ships with vm is your .vm file right ??
     or rather yours ??
