	hi glenn, 

	yeah, i read the recent posts about the key binding and vim;
	that's what brought my question to the fore.  i did read on the
	evolution list that a gvim plugin may happen.  the main reason i
	use mutt is that my fingers know vi.  unfortunately, there're too
	many things in email now that require a gui reader.  be nice to
	be able to read in evo and if i had to reply, use gvim.  

	gary
