  Glad that you have found the problem!

Many many thanks for the help!

  vm-fsfemacs-mule-p is an internal variable of VM.  Please don't change it.

OK.

  The only problem with MS email clients was that they used to incorrectly
  label windows-1252 as iso-8859-1.  But I haven't seen this problem for a
  while.  So it is likely that they fixed it.  If so, nothing special is
  needed for handling windows-1252 any more.

Very good.

   This subject line problem in Summary buffer is also fixed now.
   
   However, this fix for the Summary buffer only works for plain text
   messages.  For a message sent in rich text mode, the subject line
   shows the octal codes.
  
  It might be a problem with cached-data.  If so, typing `j'
  (`vm-discard-cached-data') should fix the problem.  

Excellent---it did solve the problem (but see below).

  There are still some
  outstanding problems with the cached-data handling, which will be fixed in
  8.2.0 release.
  
  If it is not a cached-data problem, please file a bug report with a sample
  message.

Discarding the cache fixed all subject lines but one.  This is a message in
utf-8, which I put in the file octal_subject_message at

  http://www.ime.usp.br/~yoshi/TMP/VM/

I've tried looking at this message with Emacs/VM with default settings, with
basically the same result.  The behaviour in my two emacses is a little
different, though: one of them shows octal code and the other shows the
corresponding iso-8895-1 characters.

Thanks and best, Yoshi

  Cheers,
  Uday

This message is not in correct MIME format.  Any non-ASCIi characters in the
message headers are required to be MIME-encoded.  Here, they are not.  VM's
treatment of it is therefore correct and the best possible under the
circumstances.
