I resolve the compatability issues by sticking to (my 2006 fork of)
XEmacs 21.4 :) I hope that both that and my current VM will last as
long as I need them! FSFmacs changes too much for me - I like stable
software.

I'm curious about this. I'm in a fairly high-email profession, and VM
does fine (I have far more control over my email that the poor saps
using Outlook on the Web). (I keep about 15k messages in my "inbox",
though I filter all the mailing lists into a private usenet news
system.) At what level does it become a problem?
