Hi Eli, the situation here is a bit complicated.  There are three
versions of the 'include' code.

1. The old version that has always been there in VM (originally Kyle Jones's but probably modified by Rob F over the years)
2. The version that Rob had in vm-rfaddons with 'vm-reply-include-presentation' variable, and
3. New functionality that Rob wrote which reuses VM's MIME decoding functionality to produce the quoted text.

I regard the first version as stable.  This code was eliminated by Rob,
but I brought it back in the devo version now.  You can get it by
setting vm-included-mime-types-list to a reasonable value, e.g.,
("text/plain" "text/enriched" "message/rfc822").

The third version is what we would like to move towards.  You get it by
setting vm-included-mime-types-list to nil in the devo version.  But Rob
seems to have made it the default for quite a while.  I have been using
it regularly for more than a year and it has been working fine. If there
are outstanding problems in it, we should fix them.

The second version, I regard as a stop gap solution.  It looks like you
have been using it but it quotes the entire mail box occasionally.  I
actually find this code a bit naive and don't have much confidence in
it.  Early on in this thread, we moved away from it and the problems are
still there.  So, let us not go back to it again.

Yesterday, you said that the new version (3rd version) wasn't quoting
message/rfc822 attachments appropriately.  If you can find me an example
of that, I will try to track it down.

Cheers,
Uday
