I just realized something else I don't like about this: the
"jump-to-new-message" behavior depends on how I got where I am, not
only on where I am.  If I'm looking at a message in a "normal" way,
say I "p" or "n" to a message and hit <space> to see the first part of
a message, then type "g", vm gets my new mail and jumps me to the
first new message.  However, if I'm viewing first screen some other
way, e.g. by reading further and hitting "b" until I'm back to the
first screen or by doing a vm-isearch-forward, then vm doesn't jump
me to my new messages.

This inconsistency is important to me because I'd at least like to be
able to predict what behavior vm-get-new-mail is going to have simply
by looking at my emacs screen.

Compared to the present situation, I'd prefer that vm-get-new-mail
would only jump to a new message if I'm displaying just the headers.
I'd really rather see vm-get-new-message always move me to my new
messages.

Still true.  

Thanks for listening!
