occasionally I am getting this error when reading messages in vm.  this happens
consistently for some specific messages but not others.  I am attaching a
traceback and a message that leads to the error message.  best, E

Eli, I could not reproduce this error. From the backtrace, it seems that the problem you are getting is from an "advice" (dynamic patch) to vm-fill-paragraph-containing-long-lines. This is most likely from vm-rfaddons which I am not taking responsibility for.

So, can you remove whatever advice you have added for the filling function, and see if you still get the problem?

Cheers,
Uday

hey, so it seems that the advice I use is because I was following a comment in the header of u-vm-color:
;;  If you are using auto-fill, ie when the variable;;  `vm-fill-paragraphs-containing-long-lines' is not nil, you should;;  also add this:;;  (defadvice vm-fill-paragraphs-containing-long-lines;;              (after u-vm-color activate);;              (u-vm-color-fontify-buffer))

I will eliminate the advice; perhaps this comment should be eliminated from u-vm-color as well?  there is another advice that is recommended there...
thanks as always!  E

u-vm-color.el is user-contributed software. It is not part of VM. I think the distinction between the two might have become blurred over time. Perhaps, I should add a note in the files saying which of them are part of VM and which are user-contributed. -- Uday

According to <http://ulf.epplejasper.de/EmacsVM.html>, Ulf has passed
maintainership to Robert, who has included the file in the 8.0.12
distribution.

So far, the file in VM is identical with Ulf's last release 2.10.

We should figure out if we consider it part of VM or not. If not, then
VM shouldn't install the file (and my corresponding commit should be
reverted.)

In any case, maintainership for u-vm-color is now with us.

Better move them to a "contrib" subdirectory.

No, I don't think so. The maintainership of this and other add-on's
seems to be with Rob.

I have only agreed to take on the maintenance of VM, which is the
system described in the VM manual. Everything else is an add-on which
users use with their own responsibility.

This would seem to be the right thing to do with u-vm-color because it
seems broken at the moment. But I am not so sure that we should move
all other add-ons to the contrib.

I will pick that up in another thread.

Cheers,
