There's likely something about it that VM doesn't like. The message assimilation code is more forgiving than the folder compatibility code. > Other than that I've had no problems with 5.35.

I've heard this before and I have to say that I am confounded by it. I now have people using beta VM code just because they want to use VM under Emacs, and the latest Emacs is buggier than VM. I don't know who is being more irresponsible, the FSF for encouraging unprepeared people to use their buggy code or me for fixing VM so that it will run under it!
