   * make vm-group-by work reliably. date-sent only seems to reorder a
     portion folder, leaving some messages out of order.

VM's grouping code does not do *sorting*.  Your request is a common wish,
so common in fact that a number of people (including me) have posted
modifications to VM to make it do sorting by date.  The best thing to do
would be to incorporate some of these modifications into VM.  Jamie's seem
the most thorough, since they incorporate timezone handling.

   * vm-kill - This should be like gnus-kill, a generic interface onto
     manipulating messages from within VM User written Elisp.

Agreed!

   * Make the use of virtual folders easier by allowing the building of
     vm-virtual-folder-alist interactively.

It's strange how great minds like us think alike ...

I think virtual folders may be the place to stick MIME support too, but
that's hard to say.

   * Add a vm-resend-message option which treats the current message like
     a bounce-message even if it is not. I.E. make it act like
     vm-resend-bounced-message on a regular message.

Aye!  Perhaps simply an interactive argument to vm-resend-bounced-message
would be enough.
