        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

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.
