Hi Daniel
I've installed v0.9.1 but still experience the message
"/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/buffering.rb:35:in `sysread':Connection reset
by peer/(Errno::ECONNRESET)"
after which the terminal doesn't answer to alpha key presses but the return key
repeatedly displays my login details [loginname@pcname ~]$ message for each
press of the return key.
There are other messages after the one shown above, but they don't seem
useful. The arrow key also works and pressing the up arrow clears most of the
error messages off the screen and shows a message:
`Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
Vim: finished'
Once that's happened, there are no responses to keypresses and I have to kill the terminal.
The vmail.log file ends at the point where vmail fails, but doesn't seem to be anything significant happening at that moment. Is there a clue in the phrase `Connection reset by peer'?
I also got an error message when using `u' to check for new mail. Firstly there was a message to say that I had one new message, but only `nil' in the lefthand column of the email list. Then the next series of messages appeared:
Error encountered parsing this message:

I've tried a number of the features of vmail with the following results:
,vp - worked and allowed me to give the file whatever name I wanted
launching vmail with the -g parameter - produced the vmail_contacts.txt, a very easy way of creating a contacts list
vmail starred - produced the list of email in the starred mailbox
vmail from vim_use@googlegroups.com - didn't work but displayed four lines of messages
,m - allowed me to switch mailboxes easily and incidentally, introduced me to Vim's C-x C-u autocomplete capability, which is even more useful when searching vmail_contacts.txt file.
I've still not had success with attaching files. Something hasn't dawned on me yet!
Similar with launching a browser, whether I've set VMAIL_BROWSER to elinks, links or firefox, it makes no difference, ,o puts the cursor on the first `t' of the http and that's seems to be the end of the action, despite the message that the browser has been opened.
Hope this lot helps.
Cheers and keep up with this very interesting development.
