Why vmail? Because some people are 1000 times more efficient and happy in Vim than in any web browser or GUI program.

If you want to use elinks to display HTML parts, here are instructions.
Installation
gem install vmail

Prerequisites

- a relatively recent version of Vim (vmail is developed against Vim 7.3)
- Ruby with SSL support compiled in (vmail is developed using Ruby 1.9.2)
- RubyGems (if Ruby version is older than 1.9)
- the lynx text-only-mode web browser is required to view HTML mail parts in vmail
- The current version of vmail assumes a Unix environment. I'll try to make later versions accommodate Windows.
