I question whether the behavior of vm-get-new-mail should depend on
where I am in the mail buffer when I hit "g".  

When viewing just the header or displaying the first screen of the
message, a "g" takes me to the first new message.  If I'm reading
further down in a message and type "g", then VM gets the mail, but
doesn't move me to the first new message.  I thought there might be a
variable controlling this, but a quick look turned up nothing.

I asked a buddy about this:

buddy> I kind of adapted to that behavior--in fact I decided it makes
buddy> sense.

I've adapted too, but I don't think it makes sense: if I type "g", I'm
probably interested in reading it right at that time.  Please don't
suggest that VM ask me if I want to skip to the new message, 'cause I
don't want VM to ask a question sometimes and not others: I'm too fond
of typing ahead.


BTW, while looking into this we caught a documentation bug in the
documentation :-).  The info file says: 

    If you are not in the middle of another message, VM will also jump
    to the first new message, if you are not in the midst of reading
    another message.


Here's another idea for discussion: How about having "h" toggle the
appearance of the summary window, rather than only bringing it up?
This raises other questions, like what should VM do if it's currently
displaying the mail buffer in one window and another mail file's
summary buffer in the other window.  (This would probably tie in to
the window config stuff I've read about but haven't really tried.)  I
know it's not hard to make the summary window disappear (C-x 1), but
often I use "h" like I use "t": just to check something, and after
I've seen what I want I'd like to go back to where I was.
