Which version of VM are you using?

This doesn't seem like a familiar problem.  I'm sending this now to
bug-vm@uunet.uu.net to see if anyone there knows what the problem is.

  Marwan> Is this a bug in VM, emacs, unix, or a combination of the above?
  Marwan> Obviously, I don't like people being able to read my mail.
