I am using VM 5.32 (beta), which I find to be an excellent piece of
software.  Today however, I used the g key to get new mail, then
changed my mind and pressed C-g to try to cancel it.  As a result, it
appears that my incoming mail was lost -- not even saved in a crash
box.  Has this problem been reported before?

I recently sent a list of more minor problems and suggestions, but I
had never lost mail before.

I am running under Emacs 18.58.1 of Thu Sep 10 1992, on HP 9000/300
series HP/UX 9.00.

Here is my .vm file:

(defvar rmail-ignored-headers 'nil)
(setq 
 ; following three must be in this order:
 vm-folder-directory "~/mail/"
 vm-primary-inbox (concat vm-folder-directory "in.mail")
 vm-crash-box  (concat vm-primary-inbox ".CRASH")
 vm-berkeley-mail-compatibility 't ;; sure, why not read/write Status header?
 vm-highlighted-header-regexp "^From\\|^Subject"
 vm-reply-subject-prefix "Re: "
 vm-visit-when-saving 't  ;; in case folder is compressed
 vm-auto-center-summary 0
 ;; following make the interface more like rmail:
 vm-preview-lines 'nil
 vm-follow-summary-cursor 't
 vm-auto-next-message 'nil
 vm-circular-folders 'nil
 vm-confirm-new-folders 't
 vm-move-after-deleting 't
 vm-invisible-header-regexp rmail-ignored-headers
)

;; check mbox before system spool (but don't add to list if already there):
(or (equal "~/mbox" (car vm-spool-files))
    (setq vm-spool-files (cons  "~/mbox" vm-spool-files)))

;; so long as vm is loaded, use vm-mail by default instead of regular mail
(global-set-key "\C-xm" 'vm-mail)
