Hi.  This may be a bit off topic, I hope you can help me either fix or
work around this bug.

I have been using vm for years, through many versions ofemacs and even
23.0.60 -- it did work for a while, now every time I visit a certain
virtual folder I get the following error:

Wrong type argument: sequencep, 40

How can I trace this out, or is it something which is known so I can
fix it -- I know vm has not been maintained for a while?

Thanks -- any advice would be appreciated.

Doesn't seem offtopic.

Try to get a backtrace.   E.g. start by setting Options => Enter
Debugger on Error.

OK, here is the back trace -- I have the source if necessary.

Hi John,

I know this doesn't address your question directly, but nowadays VM  _is_
actively maintained.



http://www.nongnu.org/viewmail/

Maybe a new version would help?

Well, I will certainly take a look -- have not seen anything for
years, so  I am glad its still there.

OK, now vm-version says ?bug and there are a few additional problems
-- should I send you a private message?  I still get the same error as
before when I visit the virtual folder.  Hope this works out -- seems
as though it should be better, maybe some of my defaults in my .vm are
now wrong.

Heavens no, I use Gnus!  There are a couple of newsgroups listed on that
page I mentioned - you might get some help from the VM wizards over
there.

Good luck
