The documentation for this says

    Does nothing except insure that the next VM command will operate only
    on the marked messages in the current folder.  This only works for
    commands bound to key, menu or button press events.  M-x vm-command will
    not work.

However if there's an inadvertent mouse event the setting for the next
command gets lost - which if you're about to (for example) send a
digest and end up with the entire inbox in the digest it can take a
while :-(

I have sloppy focus the mouse strayed out of the window into another
vm folder window and the vm-next-command-uses-marks was gone.

Also the same problem if you use mouse-autoselect-window and can't remember 
the key binding and then try to access to command off the menu...

Using RobertF's patched version....
not sure there's a lot that can be done about this though?

Robert
