In vm-summary, if you have more than 99 messages, the columns are not
aligned properly:

   1  
   2  
   3  
   4  
   5  
   6  
   7  
   8  
   9  
  10  
  11  
  12  
  13  
...   
  96  
  97  
  98  
  99       Roger Germundsson Sep 26  143/5049  "Finite Functions"
->100       Lele Gaifax       Sep 27    7/360   "Makefile mode"
  101 
  102 
  103 
  104 
  105 

since the extra digit bumps all the other columns right by one.

I suppose it would be safe to assume that 1000+ messages is very, very
unlikely, but there could be an option to handle 1-99 or 1-999
messages so as not to waste a space if no more than 99 are ever
expected.  Also, is there some way to get rid of the quote marks
around the subject line?  e.g.,

-> 1       macrakis@osf.org  Oct  3    7/142   "y-or-n-p"

becomes

-> 1       macrakis@osf.org  Oct  3    7/142   y-or-n-p

I guess these are ladybugs.  Using 5.31 beta, btw.  Thanks.
