According to a dictionary, Wanderlust has the meaning:
wanderlust n eager longing for or impulse towards travelling in distant lands [Ger, fr wandern to wander + lust desire, pleasure]
but I had no profound intention. (if farfetched, IMAP => you can read mail anywhere => desire to wander ?)
Elmo is the abbreviation of `Elisp Library for Message Orchestration'. At first I meant the red puppet in the Sesame Street, but you may associate it with Wandering => Drifting => Guidepost => St. Elmo's fire => elmo.
Each versions has code names (they are almost jokes). Currently they are picked up alphabetically from the top 40 hits of U.S. Billboard magazines in 1980s.
