(using vm5.31)

Whenever both the folder and its accompanying summary are displayed,
then recover-file on that folder fails (it loads the file but gives
`Args out of range: 0,N' errors when trying to move about and trying
to narrow does not help).  What's more, this same error does not occur
if ONLY ONE of either the summary or the folder is displayed before
recovering the folder.  Further, when it does fail, for some reason,
vm loads the primary INBOX!  To duplicate this error, use just the
following for your .vm file

(setq vm-startup-with-summary 0)

and then do

  cp folder.name #folder.name#

and then vm-visit-folder and then try recover-file on that folder.  Or
just remove .vm followed by vm-visit-folder and h (vm-summarize) and
then recover-file.  Or use just

(setq vm-startup-with-summary t)

as .vm and then vm-visit-folder and SPC and then recover-file.

This error DOES NOT OCCUR if you do C-x 1 just before recover-file.
