[Uday S Reddy <u.s.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys, see below a problem from one of our XEmacs-users who is
having trouble with autoloads.  In the revision 627:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vm/vm/8.0.x/revision/627

I have added autoload declarations for a few functions that were known
to need them.  This definitely cures the problem for GNU Emacs.  It is
possible that XEmacs needs some other treatment that I don't know
about.  Do you have an idea what might be going wrong?

Cheers,
Uday

Certainly.

I find I'm also still having problems with auto-autoloads.el and

  vm-decode-postponed-mime-message

my solution currently is to copy auto-autoloads.el over to
vm-autoloads.el and add

  (provide 'vm-autoload)

at the tail.

Thanks,
  Matt

vm-8.0.13 mapvector possibly collides with xemacs built-in function

Bug description:
vm-8.0.13 introduced a defun for mapvector in vm-folder.  This definition a=
ppears to stomp upon the function built into xemacs already:

  `mapvector' is a built-in function
  (mapvector FUNCTION SEQUENCE)

This became evident trying to invoke latex-mode on a buffer after having up=
graded from vm-8.0.12 to vm-8.0.13.  This resulted in an error saying that =
a mapvector usage had an incorrect argument.

Changing vm-folder.el such that it defines and uses vm-mapvector appears to=
 have fixed this behavior.

I was attempting to revert this change to obtain a back trace of the error,=
 but I am currently unable to reproduce the exact one I am experiencing.  N=
evertheless, it would seem unwise to defun a duplicate of a built-in functi=
on.
