Toolbar
*******
If you're using XEmacs, VM can display a toolbar that allows you to
run VM commands with a single mouse click. By default the toolbar is
displayed on the left of the XEmacs frame and is only visible if
you're running under a window system like X Windows or Microsoft
Windows.
To make VM not display the toolbar, set `vm-use-toolbar' to nil. To
configure what buttons are displayed on the toolbar, you must change
the value of `vm-use-toolbar'. If non-`nil', the value of
`vm-use-toolbar' should be a list of symbols and integers, which
specify which buttons appear on the toolbar and the layout of the
buttons. These are the allowed symbols along with the buttons they
represent.
`autofile'
The AutoFile button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-autofile-message'. This command will save the
current message into the folder matched by
`vm-auto-folder-alist', if there is a match.
`compose'
The Compose button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-compose-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-mail' command. If you want the Compose button
to do something else, redefine `vm-toolbar-compose-command' using
either `fset' or `defun'.
`delete/undelete'
The Delete/Undelete button. If the current message is marked for
deletion, this button displays as an Undelete button. Otherwise
it displays as a Delete button.
`file'
The File button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-file-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-mail' command. If you want the File button to
do something else, redefine `vm-toolbar-file-command' using
either `fset' or `defun'.
`getmail'
The Get Mail button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-getmail-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-get-new-mail' command. If you want the Get
Mail button to do something else, redefine
`vm-toolbar-getmail-command' using either `fset' or `defun'.
`help'
The Helper button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-helper-command'. This command normally just runs
`vm-help', but it also does context specific things under certain
conditions. If the current message is a MIME message that needs
decoding, the Helper button becomes the Decode MIME button. If
the current folder has an autosave file that appears to be the
result of an Emacs or system crash, the Helper button become the
Recover button. Clicking on the Recover button runs
`recover-file', so you can recover your folder from an existing
autosave file.
`mime'
The Decode MIME button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-mime-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-decode-mime-message' command.
`next'
The Next button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-next-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-next-message' command. If you want the Next
button to do something else, redefine `vm-toolbar-next-command'
using either `fset' or `defun'.
`previous'
The Previous button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-previous-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-previous-message' command. If you want the
Previous button to do something else, redefine
`vm-toolbar-previous-command' using either `fset' or `defun'.
`print'
The Print button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-print-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-print-message' command. If you want the Print
button to do something else, redefine `vm-toolbar-print-command'
using either `fset' or `defun'.
`quit'
The Quit button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-quit-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-quit' command. If you want the Quit button to
do something else, redefine `vm-toolbar-quit-command' using
either `fset' or `defun'.
`reply'
The Reply button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-reply-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-reply-include-text' command. If you want the
Reply button to do something else, redefine
`vm-toolbar-reply-command' using either `fset' or `defun'.
`visit'
The Visit button. Clicking on this button runs the command
`vm-toolbar-visit-command'. This command is normally just an
alias for the `vm-visit-folder' command. If you want the Visit
button to do something else, redefine `vm-toolbar-visit-command'
using either `fset' or `defun'.
`nil'
If nil appears in the list, it must appear exactly once. The
buttons associated with symbols that appear after nil in the list
will be display flushright for top and bottom toolbars, and
flushbottom for left and right toolbars.
If an positive integer appears in the the `vm-use-toolbar' list, it
specifies the number of pixels of blank space to display between the
button that comes before and the button the comes after the integer.
The variable `vm-toolbar-orientation' controls on which side of the
frame the toolbar is displayed. E.g.
(setq vm-toolbar-orientation 'top)
causes the toolbar to be displayed at the top of the frame. The `top'
in the example can be replaced with `bottom', `right' and `left' to
make the toolbar appear in those places instead.
VM finds the images for the toolbar in the directory specified by
`vm-toolbar-pixmap-directory'. This variable should already be set
properly by whoever installed VM on your system, so you should not
need to set it.
