I just did a diff between version 7.19 and 8.0.12 to check. There were 132 hunks. But most of them were little tweaks and about 15 new defuns which were really peripheral. So, yes, the basic code is from Kyle. However, I believe that most of the mule and charset code got exercised significantly only after Kyle signed off. Rob was trying to fix them as best as he could throughout the period he was in charge. When he went inactive in Jan 2009, things were still in a bit of disarray. After Ulrich and I took over, we managed to get all the outstanding charset coding problems fixed in a few months. The version 8.1.1 incorporates all these fixes. So, can you download 8.1.1 and give it a try? You can download it from https://launchpad.net/vm. It should be able to make an XEmacs site-package for you quite automatically. > Oh, I'd say I have my INBOX corrupted at least once a month, actually. > It's pretty much guaranteed if you do vm-recover-folder with 7-bit > ISO-2022 encodings in the auto-save file. If you still have the problem with 8.1.1, please do send us a bug report at [email protected]. We take any bug report showing folder corruption quite seriously. > That's up to you.

Ok, I will keep it in mind. And, thanks for the tip on switching to message-mode as well. I didn't realize that a simple switch like that can work!
