  I've encountered an interesting bug in conjunction with this.  It goes
  something like this ...

  * In my ~/.emacs, I 
      (set-default 'inhibit-local-variables 'query-other)

  * In my vm-mode-hook, I
      (make-local-variable 'inhibit-local-variables)
      (setq inhibit-local-variables 'always)

    Now, whenever I call vm, I discover that the *global* value of
  inhibit-local-variables is set to 't !!!  I don''t understand how this
  could be happening -- the only place where it is set to 't is the
  let-binding in vm and vm-gobble-crash-box!!

    Any ideas??	  [Emacs 18.55 on DECstation 2100 under Ultrix 4.1]
