For our purposes, we need only be concerned with the non-stable
versions of Debian, since vm is unlikely to be allowed through the
stable gateway by the release managers. So, Debian unstable and
testing have:
emacs22
emacs23
xemacs21
XEmacs has traditionally not been supported by the stand alone
VM package, since the XEmacs folks (used to?) bunde in the VM package,
and asked for XEmacs support to be dropped from the Debian package.
Not in Debian proper but popular:
emacs-snapshot

vm: vm is fooled by Windows encoding

You received this bug notification because you are a member of VM
development team, which is the registrant for VM.
Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: In Progress
Status in “vm” package in Debian: Fix Released
Bug description:
Package: vm
Version: 8.0.12
Severity: wishlist
It appears that one of the OS X email apps, and/or possibly other Windows
mailers, insist on adding a 'something-or-other-1252' encoding to messages.
When that happens, VM refuses to show me the message body. Editing the
message and manuall removing the encoding flag is all it takes. It is silly
that I have to do that by hand -- VM should simply be told to ignore said
encoding.
