This is how buffer-string is described in Emacs 23, which is identical
to its description in Emacs 22, incidentally. No mention of buffer-
substring-no-properties anywhere.

buffer-string is a built-in function in `C source code'.
(buffer-string)

Return the contents of the current buffer as a string.
If narrowing is in effect, this function returns only the visible part
of the buffer.

So, based on what Glenn Morris says in the next message, I changed
"buffer-string" to "buffer-substring" on line 1532 of vm-imap.el, and
it works now.

SImply because I don't mind being on the bleeding edge. But as Glenn
Morris says, it's totally stable. No problems at all.

And frankly, with a couple of Mac users in the office, I need to give
them some competition in the desktop eye-candy department, and the new
font support in Emacs 23 is worth a lot of points. :)

PS: I've been using VM for about 5 years now, and I'm very glad
there's work being done to keep it going. :)
