Package: vm
Version: 8.0.12-4
Severity: normal
RFCs are all good and well -- better still is the old policy of
'being conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept'.
Some mailers are broken, and we have to deal with it. I do get mail with
either 'Umnlaut' 8-bit chars country or with 'Accents' over vowels, and these
_break_ vm if they appear in From: or Subject:. VM then refuses to work with
mailboxen containing these and I have to manually clean the mailbox (via,
say, mutt) and restart emacs. Royal pain.
How about VM refusing to accept such mails to at least not break folders?
