ol-vm.el replaces org-vm.el?

[Alan Wehmann]

I am using:

Org mode version 9.4.6 (9.4.6-2-g21eb69-elpa @ /Users/alanwehmann/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20210524/)
GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0, NS appkit-1671.60 Version 10.14.6 (Build 18G95)) of 2020-08-12
VM version is: 8.2.0b
org-plus-contrib-20210531 package

"org-plus-contrib-20210531 package" provides "ol-vm.el" for the purpose of making a link to a VM email, in a file using Org-mode.

The "contrib" directory in the VM trunk provides "org-vm.el".

"ol-vm.el" has the following line in it:

(org-link-set-parameters "vm" :follow #'org-vm-open :store #'org-vm-store-link)

which seems to be necessary to create an Org-mode link to a VM email; such a call is not present in "org-vm.el".

Info for Org Mode 9.4 no longer mentions "org-vm.el".  The variable "org-modules" can be customized to include "ol-vm".

Based on my experience, I think that "ol-vm.el" has replaced "org-vm.el", for the purposes of making an Org Mode link to a VM email.

Some of my collection of emails in one VM folder have line breaks after the header "Message-ID:"  I had to modify routine "org-vm-select-message" found in "ol-vm.el", to allow the search to find a message which had that line break present in that header.

"org-vm.el" has gone missing from "https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/".
