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 then <space> to see the first part
of a message and 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-mail always move me to my new
messages.

Still true.  

Thanks for listening!
