vm startup problems

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 07:14:27 -0700 

Hi everyone,

After using BBDB 2.00.06 for quite a while, I just retrieved and installed
the current CVS version of BBDB.  Except for an problem with an undefined 
node in the info file the installation went fine.  I am using 
Xemacs 2.1.11 on a Solaris 7 box.

I have not changed my configuration files.

After restarting Xemacs and invocing bbdb for the first time i converted
my .bbdb file to the version 5 file format.

Here comes the problem: When I startup vm, the mailer reads the INBOX
file and produces an error message (Wrong type argument, stringp, nil)
after reaching the first unread message.  I attached the output of a vm
invocation with the variable debug-on-error set.

I have also tried this with a barebones version of my initialization
files (.emacs and .vm) to avoid possible conflicts, but to no avail.

This also happens when I keep the .bbdb file in Version 3 format.

Is this a known problem?  How do I fix it?

Thanks in advance -- Stephan
