   I have one problem to report with epoch 4.0a1.

   Previously, with epoch version 3.2, I ran VM and my screen was
divided into 2 sections.  The top 25% of the screen was the list of
mail messages along with their subject (summary), and the remaining
75% of the screen was the current mail message.

   This particular configuration is defined by a variable called
vm-mail-window-percentage, which is set to 75 by default.

   Now, with version epoch 4.0a1, the mail message buffer only takes
up about 20% of the entire window, instead of 75%.  If I increase the
variable's value, the mail message buffer's size increases, however it
never takes up more than 50%.  Eventually, when the variable is set to
95%, the buffer occupies the entire window and outputs the following
error message in the minibuffer:

       Wrong type argument: windowp, nil

  Any lisp dieties out there???  Please help!
