I just posted a question to gnu.emacs.vm.info about having C-cC-c ask
befor sending mail, and one of the reactions I got was a mail asking
where to find VM 5.33 beta.  I myself had a hard time finding it,
until I thought of looking into the emacs FAQ.  Thus this suggestion:

- It would be nice if the documentation told *where* to get (the
  latest version of) VM.  The emacs faq told me to look at ftp.uu.net,
  but I would have expected to see that in the README or vm.texinfo
  files.  (I have seen the line "This is prerelease software.  Giving
  out copies of it means DEATH!".  But suppose someone has the beta
  version and wants to find the next version, and does not think of
  looking in the emacs faq...)
        
And, while I am at it:

- As far as I can see, the file "README", which describes "How to
  setup VM", ought to mention this:
   
  4) Add this line to your .emacs or to default.el:

     (autoload 'vm "vm" "Read mail under Emacs (not loaded)." t)
     (autoload 'vm-visit-folder "vm" "Visit a mail file (not loaded)." t)
     (autoload 'vm-mode "Major mode for reading mail (not loaded)." t)
     (autoload 'vm-mail 
	       "Send a mail message from within VM, or from without." t)

     or this:
      
      (load-library "vm")
      
      or this:
      
      (require 'vm)
