Our systems people recently upgraded our emacs version to 18.57 (it used to be 18.55). Now I noticed that when I reply to a message in my INBOX (using vm 5.32 beta), and switch buffers back from the reply, the INBOX buffer is displayed incorrectly. Basically, part of the first message in the INBOX is displayed, with various headers that are not normally displayed. If I press any keys (C-n, cursor, etc), the display immediately reverts to the current message and looks correct. This never happened with emacs 18.55. My system is a Sun SPARCstation 1, SunOS 4.1.1, and emacs pops up its own xterm (but the same thing happens with a dumb terminal). With the old version of emacs, X-windows support must not have been compiled in, since it ran in whatever xterm window I was using. More exactly, this is what I did: emacs -q & Note I do not have a .vm file. Then in the emacs window, M-x load-f[tab] emacs/lisp/vm.e[tab][ret] This is vm 5.32, which I compiled with the new byte compiler. M-x vm[ret] Before this, in a previous emacs session, I sent myself some test mail and so I have two test messages and nothing else in my INBOX. The second message is the current message, which is displayed now. r[ret] A reply buffer comes up, replacing the INBOX buffer. C-x b[ret] Now I am looking at the INBOX buffer, but I see both messages in the file, not just the second one, and with all of the headers displayed, even ones that are normally suppressed. Now if I type C-n (the message is several lines long and I'm not at the bottom) the second message is displayed normally. I'm not sure whether this is a vm bug, an emacs bug, or something else, but it only has happened to me with vm so far. It may also happen in non-INBOX folders, but I haven't tried. Since it is easily fixed by typing C-n, it is not too serious, but it does strike me as a bug. Any ideas? vm is very nice otherwise... Raj
