Hi Daniel

I loaded your vmail as soon as I saw it. I'm using PCLinuxOS, 2010 on my
desktop and 2009 on my netbook. It was very easy to install as there's
not much to configure besides the .vmailrc (and that is mercifully short
and optionless). After the install the only thing I had to do was put
"~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin" in the PATH in .bashrc and vmail worked. Much
quicker than my initial experience of Mutt (which I like), so
congratulations on making vmail easy to start.

One problem I've found is that after having the program open for a while
I get an error that starts:

"/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/buffering.rb:35:in `sysread':Connection reset
by peer/(Errno::ECONNRESET)"

I haven't a clue what that means but after that message and some more,
my terminal is unusable and I need to kill it and start again. Easy to
do, but I don't think it should happen, especially after about 5
minutes.

I've tried to send email with attachments, but no luck so far and I
clearly don't understand the attach: syntax example in your user guide.
Is it assumed that the file to be attached is in a directory that starts
at ~/ or somewhere else? I suspect this is a dummy question and perhaps
I've not read your guide properly.

Some colour would be nice!

Cheers and well done.
