+Excerpts from Arian Kuschki's message of Fri Feb 19 11:49:25 -0500 2010:\r
+> Hi all\r
+> thank you for notmuch, it is a great project. I have been watching \r
+> progress for a while but then I could no longer restrain myself and \r
+> started using notmuch's vim client even though it is still a bit rough \r
+> around the edges. Unfortunately there are some quirks that \r

+> anytime soon?\r
+\r
+Not that I know of. I've thought of starting something before. I really\r
+want to start using notmuch full-time myself, but I agree, the vim\r
+client is far from usable.\r
+\r
+> 2. is anybody working on the vim client? I have a small patch and might \r
+> have couple more as time passes. Is this mailing list the right place to \r
+> discuss this? From what I can gather the discussion seems to be centred \r
+> mainly on the emacs client.\r
+\r
+I don't believe there is anyone working actively on the vim frontend at\r
+the moment. I looked at it not so long ago and the code is pretty good.\r
+The real problem is all notmuch calls are synchronous. Vim unfortunately\r
+lacks the excellent asynchronous subprocess interface that emacs has.\r
+Therefore, I'm afraid the vim client is going to be just as unuable\r
+until someone has implemented asynchronous subprocess support.\r
+\r
+I have a tree starting this sitting around somewhere, but it still has a\r
+ways to go and I won't have time to finish until midterms are over at\r
+the earliest. If someone else wants to take a stab at it, the code is\r
+available git://goldnerlab.physics.umass.edu/vim7.git (the async-process\r
+branch). I'd love to know if anyone makes any progress and I'll keep you\r
+all in the loop if I find any time to invest in it.\r
+\r
+I have considered starting work on an ncurses frontend, but I think\r
+ultimately that time would be better used in working on the async vim\r
+code. Vim gives us a whole lot of functionality for free that would take\r
+time to get working on a new ncurses client (e.g. windowing) and I would\r
+far prefer to use notmuch from within vim than from another specialized\r
+application.\r
+\r
+Cheers,\r
