Dear David and Org mode users, 

I mentioned in an earlier thread that VM version 8.1.1 will support links to 
IMAP messages.  That has now been released.  Please download it from here:

  https://launchpad.net/vm

I am a beginning Org-mode user myself and have an interest in adding features 
that integrate VM and Org-mode more closely.  So, I would welcome participation 
from the seasoned Org-mode users.

This release has an enhanced org-vm.el file in the contrib directory, which you 
need to use to create links to IMAP mail.  (You can copy the file to your 
org-mode/lisp directory or any other elisp directory on your load-path.)  I 
will be submitting the enhancements to org-mode once VM 8.1.1 is settled into 
circulation.

As for using Mutt with Org-mode, I hope you are familiar with this work?
