Bug forwarding MMDF mail in 5.31

I just got the 5.31beta.tar.Z file from uunet and have found what
looks like a minor bug in the way MMDF-style mail is forwarded when
using the "z" key (vm-forward-message).

When forwarding such a message, the last line of the mail buffer looks
like this:

^A^A^A^A------- End of forwarded message -------

Where the "^A" characters above are the control-A's that MMDF uses as
message separators.

This works fine with 4.41, by the way.

Also, the forwarded message contains the "X-VM-v5-Data:" line, which
doesn't seem to be appropriate for forwarding.  After all, doesn't
that line reflect information specific to your mailbox and your VM
settings?

Other than that, v5 is a nice improvement over 4.41.
