Bug in vmsx-convert-message?

I just started to use vm5.32 and the vm-save stuff for do-fcc.

When I sent a message it complained about not being able to find "\n\n".

The problem is in vmsx-convert-message, where (in case the folder type is
mmdf) first all emty lines are replaced by a space and then an empty line
is sought:

	   (save-excursion
	     (while (re-search-forward "^\n" nil t)
	       (replace-match " \n")))
	   ;; If message does not have date use the current one.
	   (if (vmsx-get-header-contents "Date")
	       ()
	     (search-forward "\n\n" nil t)
                                ^ shouldn't there be a space?

I don't understand why the empty lines are replaced by a space but I
suppose this is mmdf weirdness. I don't want mmdf anyway so setteing the
default to From_ solved the problem.
