Re: W3 display through VM of this message (was Re: Bugs in artificial intelligence version (5))
Again, I am having a similar problem with Gnus, not VM, so what I'm
writing here may or may not be relevant to Charles' problem.

If you build XEmacs with MULE disabled I think the problem will

I have a no-MULE XEmacs (21.4.3).
My current working theory is that when VM calls decode-coding-region
on a region that contain one of those strange Windows-only characters
like \222 it gets converted into something that's either invalid as a
character or something unexpected by code further along. If you
could provide a Lisp backtrace, we could determine whether it is VM
or W3 that is croaking, and proceed accordingly.
(require 'vm)
(load "vm-mime.el")
(setq debug-on-signal t)
and then reproduce the problem to get the backtrace.
When I do that with Gnus (not VM), I get this:
