The following bug report was filed at launchpad, having to do with multibyte setting during MIME decoding. I have confirmed that the problem does occur in Emacs23 with the current version of VM. I wonder if you ran into this problem as well?
I guessed that the user jcb+vm on Launchpad is you. Am I right? Do you monitor the email on this account? If so, I will just use it instead of sending you more stuff at your work address.

The file produced is corrupted and typically is slightly smaller than it should be. This is with vm 7.19. With emacs 22.1 this problem doesn't happen. The "Save to File" does work, however. I found that by removing the call to set-buffer-multibyte in vm-mime-display-external-generic the problem went away. % diff -c vm-mime.el.orig vm-mime.el *** vm-mime.el.orig Tue Dec 1 11:07:31 2009 - --- vm-mime.el Thu Dec 10 10:12:31 2009 *************** *** 1967,1973 **** (vm-mime-transfer-decode-region layout (point-min) (point-max)) !
