I have noticed that vip and vm don't always get along together very well.
For example:

(*) Minor bug: when reading mail, ctl-z can still toggle between vm's keymap 
and vip's keymap.  However, even in vip mode, the first portion of the modeline 
still reads "-----VM 5.33 (beta):" rather than "-----Vi:".  (I also noticed 
this bug with the version of vip which is in the standard emacs distribution.)

(*) More serious bug: when trying to reply to a message using "R" 
(vm-reply-include-text), the command bombs after setting up the reply buffer 
but before including the text.  The error message in the minibuffer is:
"Key sequence ^C^Y uses invalid prefix characters".  This error message also 
occurs in response to the "r" command (vm-reply).  Not surprisingly, the 
keymap definition commands using a ctl-c prefix in the vm-reply functions bomb 
when vip has already defined ctl-c to do other things...

Here is the .emacs file used:
(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name "~/elisp/")) load-path))
(setq term-setup-hook '(lambda () (vip-mode)))
(load "vm")

Any ideas on how to fix?  Since this new version of vip is supposed to be the 
one which will be used with emacs v19, I hope that vm can somehow be persuaded 
to live together with it peacefully.  Any and all information appreciated.

Thanks,

- John :)
