Bug description:
Here are a few suggestions regarding the documentation of vm-rfaddons.el,
in vm-8.0.11-581.

vm-rfaddons.el says "Please report bugs to Robert Widhopf-Fenk!" but
contains no email address or other instructions for how to report a bug
(such as whether to use a bug tracker instead).  It should do so.

vm-rfaddons.el does mention the URL http://www.robf.de/Hacking/elisp/, but
vm-rfaddons.el is not mentioned on that webpage.  The URL should be updated
in vm-rfaddons.el, probably to http://www.nongnu.org/viewmail/ .

http://www.robf.de/Hacking/elisp/ should mention VM itself and link to
http://www.nongnu.org/viewmail/ .

vm-rfaddons.el says:

  ;; In order to install this package you need to byte-compile it and put
  ;; it into your load-path and add the following lines to the _end_ of your
  ;; .vm file.  It should be the _end_ in order to ensure that variable you had
  ;; been setting are honored!
  ;;
  ;;      (require 'vm-rfaddons)
  ;;      (vm-rfaddons-infect-vm)

but in fact vm-rfaddons.el is enabled by default in VM 8.  This
documentation should be updated, at least for the version of vm-rfaddons.el
that is packaged with VM.
