MAJOR NEW FEATURES:
    * Support for reading and replying to messages in HTML.
    * Full support for IMAP servers.
CHANGES:
   ** vm-pgg is not loaded by default because it is a set up as an add-on.
   ** The variable `vm-mime-show-alternatives' is deprecated. Set
      the variable `vm-mime-alternative-select-method' to 'all.
IMPROVEMENTS:
   ** The commands `vm-mime-save-all-attachments' and `vm-mime-delete-all-attachments' have been moved to the VM core (from vm-rfaddons).
    * `vm-delete-duplicate-messages' now works by comparing message ID's. (from Noah Friedman's vm-addons).
   ** text/html handling controlled by a new variable `vm-mime-text/html-handler' which is set to 'auto-select by default. It causes VM to locate the best library and use it.
