I set this variable to t (very nice).  Still had the same problems.  I
tried loading vm-folder.el and vm-misc.el only to find I didn't have them
(are they 5.32?).  I loaded cl.el and when I tried saving I ended up in
what seemed to be a loop with the message "stuffing attributes".  I had
loaded vm.el, vm-edit.el, and vm-save.el if that makes any difference.
