Hi Eli, 

I don't see anything strange in the message, except that the first
line that starts with "From VM..." is missing.  I don't know if it was
there in your original folder.

Can you double check the vm version you are using?  If it is 8.0.x, we
will ignore it.  If it is in 8.1 devo version, then we will need to
track it down.  Here are some steps to take if you notice it again.

- Make two copies of the mail folder.

- Use one copy to cut down the folder to something small that still
exhibits the problem.  You would only need to keep two messages, the
one that you tried to yank and the one following it.

- Edit the messages in the down-sized folder to remove any private
information.  Check again to see if the problem is still there.  If it
isn't then you need to make another copy and try again.

- Once you have a small and safe folder, use vm-submit-bug-report to
send us a report and attach the *entire mail folder* that exhibits the
problem.  

Sorry that this is laborious.  That is how these things go,
unfortunately.

Cheers,
Uday
