Thanks for the hint - I had forgotten about the *Messages* buffer.

VM 8 is the only place I have seen it used in that sense in my 25 years as an emacs user. Also, I grepped the VM 7.19 and emacs23 sources for the string "infect"; it did not occur at all in VM 7.19, and the only occurrences in emacs23 were in dictionary files and a comment about cleaning up "html infected" email.

> add-on packages that are not part of core VM

Does this mean they are optional such that VM can be installed without them?
