🚀 go-pugleaf

I've just compiled vm-8.1.0-devo-478 with my brand new emacs 23.0.0.1.
Now I observe that any umlauts (I guess any other unicode or multi-byte
chars are affected as well) are lost when I send a mail - either a new
one, a reply, or forwarding.
Anyone an idea? Is it vm or is it the multi-byte handling of the new
emacs which is still alpha(!)

Thanks and regards,
Tommy
