Hi, I am not able to reproduce this problem.  Since you say it happens
to only some html messages, we would need samples of messages that cause
the problem in order to do anything about it.  Please get back to us if
you are able to find samples. -- Uday

Bug description:
Hello.  I just installed vm-8.0.12.  After making vm-decode-postponed-mime-message in vm-pine.el autoloaded, I have been using this version of vm comfortably until now.  Today, I realized that some (not all) of the html emails I received cannot be forwarded correctly.  What happens is that when I type "z", then the new frame shows up with two windows.
One is asking to enter to whom I want to forward, i.e.g,
 To: 
 Subject: forwarded message from Scitation TOC Alert
 X-Mailer: VM 8.0.12 under 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
etc.
and its buffer title shows the subject of the original email.
Normally, in this window, we see the following:
 [ATTACHMENT *vm-forward-buffer*, message/rfc822]
However, the main body part of this window is completely empty.
Then, another window below that shows the INBOX itself.
Interestingly, when I show the buffers by Ctl-x Ctl-b, the forward window/buffer is not recognized, i.e., it is not listed in the Buffer List.

When I use vm in the non-x mode, i.e., via "emacs -nw -f vm", it's worse.  When I type "z" to such an html email, no visible forward buffer is created, and it promps to INBOX itself, and the minibuffer says:
Buffer is read-only: #<buffer INBOX> .

I am wondering how to fix this problem.  Replying this html email does not have a problem.  Also, forwarding an html email worked without a problem in vm-8.0.11-581.

Thanks!
