What's keeping me from upgrading from 8.1.1. to 8.1.2 is that in the latter version fetching new messages cause the VM subject window to raise itself, disturbing whatever I'm doing at that moment.
I'll explain. I have a single-window setup. The VM buffers are shown in the main Emacs window. My INBOX is a virtual folder consisting of ~/INBOX and several ~/Mail/INBOX.2012xx (one for each month). I have a VM subject buffer but I'm working in another buffer. A new mail arrives in my mail spool. At a timer event, VM picks up this mail and appends it to the INBOX. With 8.1.1, a message shows in the minibuffer "Got mail from ...". With 8.1.2, the VM summary buffer is raised to the foreground. In case it is helpful, this is what is shown in the *Messages* buffer: VM 8.1.1: Added to /home/jv/INBOX Got mail from /var/spool/mail/jv. VM 8.2.2: Added to /home/jv/INBOX Got mail from /var/spool/mail/jv. 366 messages, 0 new, 1 unread, 0 deleted [2 times] Checking for new mail for /home/jv/Mail/INBOX.201203... 366 messages, 0 new, 1 unread, 0 deleted 407 messages, 0 new, 0 unread, 0 deleted [2 times] Checking for new mail for /home/jv/Mail/INBOX.201204... 407 messages, 0 new, 0 unread, 0 deleted 327 messages, 0 new, 0 unread, 0 deleted Decoding MIME message...

That's fine. But why is the summary buffer raised? I've looked at the changes from 8.1.1 to 8.1.2 but I cannot explain why this happens. Note that VM 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 use exactly the same configuration. Any help is appreciated. -- Johan
