Subject says it all...
If you run vm from a frame without its own minibuffer, then the
command hangs and freezes emacs (until you kill it with a
ctrl-g). Similarly, if you start vm in a regular frame and then run
vm-quit or vm-visit-folder in frame without a minibuffer, then the
command hangs. Other functions, like vm-save-folder or
vm-next-message, don't cause a hang.

Any idea what might be causing this (mis)-behavior?

[Kevin: note I discovered this when playing with the pop-up frames
created by vm-mime-display-internal-application.el which of course
don't have minibuffers]

Thank,
Jeff
