I would like to try again to describe my problem.

To simplify the issues, I have removed Jamie's %U summary mod, though
that context is really what motivates my concern.
In the simplified form, the problem shows up as the date missing from the 
default summary line in my file named in 'mail-archive-file-name,
which I will call my Outbox.  (With Jamie's mod in place, the recipient
is missing as well, which is what I noticed first, but the date missing
is a problem in its own right.)

So here's the scenario.

1) I send a message with 'vm-mail
    The contents of the Outbox is listed below as "OUTBOX phase 1"

2) I visit my Outbox with 'vm-visit-folder
    The summary display is (correctly):
-> 1       Len Weisberg      Sep  5    1/28    "testing mailbox"

3) I leave my Outbox with 'vm-quit
    The contents of the Outbox is listed below as "OUTBOX phase 2"

4) I visit my Outbox again with 'vm-visit-folder
    The summary display is (NOT correctly):
-> 1       Len Weisberg                1/28    "testing mailbox"

5) I send a another message with 'vm-mail .
    The contents of the Outbox is listed below as "OUTBOX phase 3"

6) I visit my Outbox with 'vm-visit-folder
    The summary display is (NOT correctly):
   1       Len Weisberg                2/29    "testing mailbox"
-> 2       Len Weisberg                1/33    "testing again"

   (Note the second message looks just like the message in phase 1, 
    yet still gives a bad summary line!)

Some notes:
1) This used to work, and I don't know what changed.
2) The X-VM-v5-Data: header is incomplete, but I don't really know if
    that is the problem, because I am told that the summary routines
    are supposed to look for information not in this header.
3) If I do cook up this header and fill in the information, the summary
    display is correct.
4) As indicated above, with Jamie's %U summary mod, I get my name instead
    of the recipient's name.
5) I have had files with some good summary lines and some bad.


If this is still not clear, please let me know what more you need.

Thanks, (please)
