I just started to use vm5.32 and the vm-save stuff for do-fcc.

When I sent a message it complained about not being able to find "\n\n".

The problem is in vmsx-convert-message, where (in case the folder type is
mmdf) first all emty lines are replaced by a space and then an empty line
is sought:

	   (save-excursion
	     (while (re-search-forward "^\n" nil t)
	       (replace-match " \n")))
	   ;; If message does not have date use the current one.
	   (if (vmsx-get-header-contents "Date")
	       ()
	     (search-forward "\n\n" nil t)
                                ^ shouldn't there be a space?

I don't understand why the empty lines are replaced by a space but I
suppose this is mmdf weirdness. I don't want mmdf anyway so setteing the
default to From_ solved the problem.

There is no such function in VM.

This function is drawn from a package of that name, which was supposed
to enable saving of stuff from fcc into vm folders.  It was posted
by someone from Germany if I remember correctly, and I managed to
get the same bug.  Never did manage to fix it, so I threw the package
out...

Sorry, I found it it vm-save-x.el in my vm directory and didn't realise
that it wasn't part of the official vm distribution. The file doesn't have
any indication of who is the athor.

But as I definitely want to report a bug :=) here is another one.

On vm5.32 when I get new mail, I do M-x vm followed by g. This pops up the
INBOX and its summar buffer, but often it displays the new message not at
the top but something like 10 lines down. Of course I can get to the top by
using DEL or <, but I find this annoying. I am running emacs18.58, and as
both emacs and VM have been updated in the last week, I can't tell which
one caused this behaviour. Any idea?
