Heh heh.  Not a very good way to narrow down the problem, switching back
to Emacs 18 :)  To really narrow it down you should have tried using
Emacs 19 mail mode (not vm-mail).

This sounds like the well-known problem with using Supercite 2.3 and
transient-mark mode in Emacs 19.  Barry Warsaw (author of Supercite)

Add that to your .emacs and try again.
