   I like reading mail like in gnus, with the subject header in a 25 %
   window on top, and the text of the mails in the other buffer.
   The header buffer is the active buffer (with cursor in it).
   When I'm reading a large mail with much more than one window-size of
   text, the command vm-scroll-forward (SPC-key) doesn't scroll one page
   forward, but about one and a half page. The scroll-backward works
   fine, and vm-scroll-forward also works fine, when the cursor is in the
   text-window. 

   It's not a great thing, but sometimes I'm missing the half page which
   is scrolled over, and don't even recognize.

Exactly the same thing is happening to me. My buffer configuration in
vm is the same as Ralf's. Unlike him, though, I have been using vm for
quite some time, and this hasn't happened to me in version 5.31. I
have emacs 18.58, btw.

The interesting thing is that I'm using vm at two places here at
Brown: in my department where we have Sparc 10's and also at my
part-time job where there are RS 6000's. No problem at IBMs, only at
Sun's.
