This is under your control.
The quotes are put there explicitly in a variable that you can set for
yourself in your $HOME/.vm file:

The default value for  'vm-summary-format   is:
"%2n %*%a %-17.17F %-3.3m %2d %4l/%-5c \"%s\"\n"

Just put into your $HOME/.vm the statement:

(setq vm-summary-format  "%2n %*%a %-17.17F %-3.3m %2d %4l/%-5c %s\n")

(Although  you really want to be able to use Jamie's very nice mod
which will allow you to use U instead of F and get something meaningful
in the summaries of your outbox  -  that is when the VM-v5 headers get fixed.
But those are two other stories.  :-) )
