   On another note: I've put some stuff into the vm-mode-hooks that
   nukes the "Mail" message from the mode line when I go into vm (I
   hate seeing the old "Mail" in the mode line --- it makes me think
   I've received more mail); and this works fine most of the time.
   Accept when I stay in vm long enough for new mail to really arrive,
   then I use 'g' to get the new mail, but there is now way to add
   a function call that would let me nuke the "Mail" in the mode
   line....in any case it'd be real nice if there was a hook for
   vm-get-new-mail or whatever it's called.

I keep adding a vm-after-get-mail-hook to VM each time I upgrade.  I tried
long ago to get Kyle to include it, but he has stubbornly refused.

Please, please, please, please include this hook.
