I found a problem with VM's mail mode (version 5.3x). Specifically, the
file name that VM uses when you reply. If the recipient's ``personal name''
contains characters that Unix barfs on when included in filenames, the
auto-save-mode fails when it can't properly parse buffer-file-name. For
example, my own, as you can see in the From: field.
[sarcastic mode on]
And if anyone tells me to change my finger info, I'll them to kiss off and
die. :-)
