I've done this before. Its a little scary, because the mail isn't in
your inbox or crashbox, and if you use xbiff (or somesuch) your icon
will indicate no mail, but the mail was always still sitting in my
spool file. I think I once had to kill vm and restart it (can't swear
by that), but in any case, just hitting another "g" sucked the mail
into vm. I don't *think* I lost anything :-)
