vm-mime-retrieve-external-body may corrupt files when it retrieves
them from the external file. This seems to be rarely triggered, but it
bit me when I got some PDF files with Mac line-endings, which VM read
and converted to Unix line endings, thereby breaking all the offsets
in the PDF.
Here is the patch, which I think should apply to trunk as well:
