Unfortunately the problem is still recurring, I have a couple of suspects
coding systems, started happending after I inadvertently added a name
containing Chinese characters to .bbdb I was then asked about a coding
system on saving (I think) and the ones containing european accents got munged
e.g. one entry has a second name of 'BN|rger'
I use gnus (for usenet) and vm (6.95), I haven't seen the problem when
using gnus
Typically I get the error when I try moving backwards in the message list,
or immediately after purging deleted messages
I've tried setting debug-on-error to t but I immediately get errors with
a nil function I assume vm is throwing and catching all the time?
Then there's emacs 21, I'll do some experimenting with my emacs 20 installation
