VM uses Emacs' menubar and popup menus when they are available to
give you access to more of VM's commands. By default VM puts a
context sensitive popup menu on mouse button 3 (usually the
rightmost mouse button). If you don't want this menu, set the
variable vm-popup-menu-on-mouse-3
to nil.
If you set vm-use-menus
to nil, VM will not generate a menubar
for VM folder buffers and VM won't use popup menus either. If
you set vm-use-menus
to `1
', VM will add a single `VM
'
entry to the existing menubar instead of using the whole menubar
for its purposes. That single entry will have all the VM command
submenus under it.
To make VM use the whole menubar, you must set variable vm-use-menus
to a list of symbols. The symbols and the order in which they are listed
determine which menus will be in the menubar and how they are ordered.
Valid symbol values are:
dispose
|
This is menu of commands that are commonly used to dispose of a message. E.g. reply, print, save, delete. |
