+Hi,\r
+\r
+I've never been particularly happy with the code of the vim plug-in,\r
+but it sort of did the job, after some fixes, and has been working\r
+great so far for most of my needs even though it's clearly very rough\r
+on the edges.\r
+\r
+However, I'm recently in need of been able to read HTML mails, and\r
+just trying to add that code was a nightmare, so I decided to look for\r
+alternatives, including Anton's Python vim plug-in (which is nice, but\r
+doesn't have support for that), and even learning emacs, to use what\r
+most people here use (but it turns out the HTML messages don't work\r
+correctly there either). I also tried the various mutt+notmuch\r
+options, and none fit the bill.\r
+\r
+So, since I'm a big fan of Ruby, I decided to try my luck writing a\r
+plug-in from scratch. It took me one weekend, but I'm pretty happy\r
+with the result. This plug-in has already essentially all the\r
+functionality of the current one, but it's much, *much* simpler (only\r
+600) lines of code.\r
+\r
+And in addition has many more features:\r
+\r
+ * Gradual searches; you don't have to wait for the whole search to finish,\r
+ sort of like the 'less' command\r
+ * Proper multi-part handling; finds out if there's text/plain, or if\r
+ text/html, converts it using elinks\r
+ * Extract all attachments\r
+ * Open message with mutt (or any external application that can open an mbox)\r
+ * More proper UTF-8 handling\r
+ * Configurable key mappings\r
+ * Much simpler, cleaner, beautiful, and extensible code (only 600 lines!)\r
+\r
+I just added support to reply mails today, and after trying a bit I\r
+got complaints from the vger.kernel.org server, but people using mutt\r
+have had the same complaint, so I don't know, I wouldn't reply totally\r
+on that. *But* you can open the mail with mutt, or any other client\r
+that you want, as a fall-back option (the command to run is\r
+configurable).\r
+\r
+Sure, it depends on the Ruby bindings from notmuch (but those are easy\r
+to compile), and on the 'mail' library from Ruby (easy to install),\r
+but it makes things much, *much* easier. There might be ways to make\r
+certain dependencies optional, and make this, and the current plug-in\r
+converge somehow (maybe even the python one too), but for now I don't\r
+see any reason to look back.\r
+\r
+I can't wait to start using it for real :)\r
+\r
+Enjoy ;)\r

+P.S. I CC'ed a bunch of people that have showed interest in the vim\r
+interface, I hope you don't mind\r
