Bug Description
This is with 8.2.0a running under:
xemacs --version
XEmacs 21.5 (beta29) "garbanzo" [Lucid] (x86_64-suse-linux, Mule) of Tue Feb 22 2011 on build34
Configuration is:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/vm/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'exec-path (expand-file-name "~/vm/bin"))
(add-to-list 'Info-default-
(load-library "auto-autoloads")
With the soon-to-be-attached mailbox, the mailbox size approximately double every time
it is saved because a non-ascii part of the message, "ShakespeareÃ
doubled. This happens, for example, after:
1. M-x vm RET
2. M-x vm-edit-message RET
3. Add or remove a space somewhere
4. C-c ESC
5. q
Note: right now the non-ascii part is only about 128 bytes so the attachment won't be too big.

That might be an XEmacs issue. I didn't find such a growth on Gnu Emacs.
Those control characters might be causing some problem. Gnu Emacs 22 went
into a big loop when I tried to edit the message.
I think I will punt the problem, unless you think it is important.
Cheers,
Uday
