With no .vm file, I do not get any errors or backtrace UNLESS the first message in the INBOX requires one of the external utilities for handling quoted printable etc. However, the backtrace has more information then you are seeing and it is fairly clear what is wrong. So, I doubt that this is the problem. One other point, you said that the only line in your .emacs is the one for debug-on-error. Do you have any custom variable settings in the file as well? Maybe there is something in there you ahve put in for another program, like gnus, which is causing problems? HTH Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
