I'm mailing a message using M-x vm-mail for VM 5.31 under Emacs 18.55.
The buffer listing starts out like this:

 MR Buffer         Size  Mode           File
 -- ------         ----  ----           ----
.*  *VM-mail*	   188	 Mail		

But emacs is still trying to autosave the buffer -- every minute or
so I get a beep and an error message, "Autosaving... error! for *VM-mail*".

Anyone have a guess as to why this is happening?
