Thank you so much.  I recall trying to install Wanderlust in the past
and getting tripped up by the need to install SEMI, APEL and FLIM, which
didn't successfully build for me (Aquamacs).

Wanderlust still seems pretty difficult to set up:

The INSTALL instructions for Wanderlust (on github) have not been
updated in 2 years.  They give instructions for up-to-date Emacs
versions like 20.4 and they are unclear about whether to use FLIM or
CLIME, or where to get the latter.  Also, currently, the FAQ at the
Wanderlust homepage points to dead FTP URLs for SEMI, APEL, and FLIM
packages.

If you don't grok el-get, or have prepackaged (e.g., Debian) versions of
Wanderlust, this beast seems like a huge chore to install.

Sigh.
