I'm using VM hack@robf.de--2005/vm--robf--7.19--patch-33 under GNU
Emacs 22.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0) of 2006-05-04 on
rodrigues.inf.ed.ac.uk - Aquamacs Distribution 0.9.9CVS.

I am encountering two problems:

1) replying to a message whose author has non-ascii characters in the
name gives an error, for example:

byte-code: Cannot create temporary name for prefix: invalid argument,
/Users/jmf/Mail/#reply to Morten Høgholm<2>#


2) some mails I receive containing non-ascii characters in the
iso-8859-1 character set are not displayed properly in VM; although
when I edit the message, they are there in their full 8-bit glory.
Also if I Reply to the message, they are included correctly in the
reply.  I have noticed that the errors are the following:
a character with unicode U+00XX will be displayed as a character with
ASCII code XX (in Hex).  For example, é (which has unicode U+00E9)
will be displayed as È (which has ascii 233 whose hex value is E9).

Any ideas???

Many thanks, José
