Hi,

I've been happily using VM for years, thanks Kyle.

I just started a new job and installed xemacs-21.1.14 with vm-7.07 on
both Sun Solaris 2.8 and Redhat 7.2. I built both from stratch using
the same tarballs. I read mail from a spool file (no IMAP or POP). Two
weird things are happening:

1) First line of each mail is "From VM" instead of "From foo@bar.com"
like it used to be. I can some old threads that explain why this is so
but I can't figure out why it happens to me. This really doesn't
bother me except for problem number 2.

2) When I read the folders using the Linux version of xemacs/vm, VM
can't parse the folder.  A quick inspection of the folder reveals that
there is no line between the mail messages. That is, one message ends
and on the very next line it says, "From VM". When I manually edit the
folder and add a space, it can then parse the folder.

My INBOX has 37 messages in it but the vm under Linux can only see 10
of them. The Sun version can see all 37 messages correctly.

This is all very confusing to me. I have a bunch of unanswered
questions:

a) Why do the Sun and Linux version behave differently? (I suspect
that something about what libraries they're using is different, but I
can't immediately determine what it is.)

b) My INBOX has no lines between the end of one message and the "From
VM" line, seeing as how the Linux version is having trouble with it,
why can it see 10 of 37 messages? Why not just one?

c) Why is there no newline between the messages like there always has
been previously?

d) Why am I seeing the "From VM"?

Thanks,

Jeff
