the relevant messages in the *Messages buffer seem to be
Inlining text/html by emacs-w3m...Decoding quoted-printable... doneInlining text/html by emacs-w3m... done.Mark set
if I don't hit a key or move the mouse, this could take some 8 seconds, otherwise immediately.  I'll take a look at emacs-w3m.  I use the cvs version of emacs-w3m, and the last changelog entry is from 2010-03-12.  cheers, E

>> Windows Emacs 23 has an hourglass that is displayed while Emacs is busy. So, I found a few places where VM was continuing to display the hourglass whereas I would have normally expected it to have finished. For example, when you do get-new-mail, it might display "No new messages" and display the hourglass for a while.
>> It turns out that VM has a bunch of nap's built-in. After saying "No new messages," it sleeps for 4 seconds! But these naps look like they are interruptible. If you type something while VM is napping, it gets out of its stupor and gets back to work. However, if you get an hourglass displayed you are probably going to wait yourself, thinking that VM is doing something important.
>> Why does VM nap? Perhaps the idea was that you might not notice its minibuffer messages otherwise. They might go by too fast for you to notice. However, these naps are not compatible with the new hourglass.
>> So, I am going to disable the naps if you have display-hourglass enabled. You might need to occasionally go and look in the *Messages* buffer to find the messages that might have flown by too fast.
>> Cheers,
>> Uday
