Package: vm
Version: 8.0.12-4
Severity: wishlist
It appears that one of the OS X email apps, and/or possibly other Windows
mailers, insist on adding a 'something-or-other-1252' encoding to messages.
When that happens, VM refuses to show me the message body. Editing the
message and manuall removing the encoding flag is all it takes. It is silly
that I have to do that by hand -- VM should simply be told to ignore said
encoding.

Indeed. And you can do so, if you wish, by setting
vm-mime-default-face-charsets to whatever is appropriate to your
system. If it is set to t, it will display all charsets. Or else, it
can be a list of charsets you want to have displayed.
