Bug Description
Rene reports (gnu.emacs.vm.info 2011-05-27):
I tried to forward the mail I was reading in the presentation buffer
and thus hit the `z' key without noticing the mouse pointer was on
another mail in the summary buffer. What happend is that the selected
mail in the summary buffer got forwarded instead of the one shown in
the presentation buffer...

Sorry about that. This turns out to be a rather subtle problem, and I am not sure how it was working correctly earlier.
The problem is that, when you do something in the Summary buffer, the "current message" becomes the one that the summary cursor is pointing to, even if the presentation buffer is showing a different message. But, if you are invoking an operation from the Presentation buffer, you want the "current message" to be the one that is being displayed. VM has code to follow the summary cursor, but it never had any code to follow the Presentation buffer. So, I am perplexed as to how it was ever working correctly.
I will now add code to follow the Presentation buffer when commands are invoked from there.
Cheers,
Uday
