I would like to report two bugs in the rmail mode of the VMS version
of GNU Emacs.

In the rmail-summary-mode there is the following bug.

Here follows a buffer copied from the rmail-summary mode; it
demonstrates that the sender field of incoming messages is shown
incorrectly in cases where the Foreign Protocol support of the VMS
mailing system has been used.  The messages whose sender looks like
'IN%:34.23' or 'Jnet%:20.98' have been received from network addresses
such as IN%"RESHEF1@BGUVM" and Jnet%"Lyrics@UMass".

In some cases, the text of a received message is doubled in the RMAIL.
file!  Here follows a copy of a message which has been copied by using
Meta-> and Meta-W from the rmail mode; the copy shows that the text of
the message is there twice.
