vm-8.1.0-devo-464
GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.12) of 2007-06-21 on

OS Debian Testing

I use a dark background as my default (black). The summary faces are
'invisible' for unread messages (black on black) and difficult to read for
others (i.e. deleted is gray50 on black etc). 

I set these faces through customize, but the changes only last for the current
session. When I re-start emacs, they are back to their defaults.

Checking my .emacs, I have the following lines -

 '(vm-summary-selected-face ((t (:background "black" :foreground "yellow" :weight bold))))
 '(vm-summary-unread-face ((t (:foreground "green"))))

so its possible vm just isn't setting the values from my .emacs file. However,
it does appear to be saving these values to the file. 

I also noticed this behavior running the vm-rfaddons stuff with vm 19. In
particular, I have problems with urls in the body text. They are dark blue by
default, which doesn't stand out too well on a black background. All my
attempts to configure the face through customize fail in that they only last
that current session. This was observed with both emacs 21 and emacs 22. So it
would seem whatever the issue is, it may have been around for a while (i.e. its
not just in the new 8.x stuff, but has been brought forward from the add-ons
package. 

I will try to dig deeper when I can find time. Just alerting you to the issue
now.
