I (sort of) reported this for 5.31, but finally discovered the (real)
problem. It seems that when I have
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("BOX" . vm-mode) auto-mode-alist))
in my ~/.emacs, then vm fails to get new mail upon startup. (There is
no problem when I comment that line out.) It behaves this way for vm 5.32
as well. In 5.31, all I had to do was g (vm-get-new-mail) to
explicitly read my new mail. In 5.32, when I presss g, I get an
Args out of range: nnnnn, nnnnnn
in the minibuffer. Here's a stack trace, for what it's worth.
