vm-verbosity of "recreating summary" notifications

[Uday Reddy]

Could you please lower (to 7 or even 8) the two Recreating summary messages

  (vm-inform 6 "Recreating summary... %s" n))
  (vm-inform 6 "Recreating summary... done")

in the vm-update-summary-and-mode-line () function [vm-folder.el]

My primary drive in requesting this is that in delete and kill messages, the more
useful "<n> messages deleted" is immediately overwritten with the relatively useless
Recreating summary message. (I say "relatively useless" since that message comes
out on almost EVERYTHING I do -- read, delete, etc and so forth, and as such doesn't
really convey much interesting information).

I could just lower vm-verbosity to 5, but then I lose a lot of other useful/interesting
level 6 messages...

This is re version VM 8.2.0b (gnu23), running under emacs v24.2 (Solaris/SPARC).

TIA!

The verbosity level of "Recreating summary" has been increased to 7 in the trunk.

Perhaps move it up to level 8?

What we could really use is a vm-inform-append or append if not idle for N seconds or something. Perhaps just make the line be circular or "old text falls off the left" or something.

+1 for level 8, though, I guess. "Recreating summary" just isn't that exciting.
