19.15b95, VM 6.15, Gnus 5.4.15
Motif dialogs, Lucid scrollbars & menus
Solaris 2.5.1, CDE 1.0.2, focus-follows-mouse

----

Several things related to VM:

o Anyone else seeing weirdness when trying to scroll after doing
  mouse-2 to view an image?  Scrollbars are extremely sensitive after
  the image is expanded (e.g. a gif displayed internally).

o Or is this related to scroll-in-place again?  As I've mentioned
  before, I'm seeing the same hosage of vm-scroll-{forward|backward}
  that I used to see before I put this:

(add-hook 'vm-mode-hook
	  '(lambda ()
	     (make-variable-buffer-local 'scroll-in-place)
	     (setq scroll-in-place nil)
	     ))

  in my .vm.  But now it's only in MIME messages, which seem to use
  this new (?) "presentation" buffer.  How do I turn of s-i-p in
  those? 

  Kyle, at one point you mentioned maybe just turning off s-i-p in VM
  altogether.  Why not, since it causes such havoc?

o Saw some other weirdness when reading Michael Harnois' message sent
  today (Subject: crash).

  I have (setq vm-auto-decode-mime-messages t) in my .vm, so all I saw
  in the body of his msg was:

plain text, X-CTEXT                 [Click mouse-2 to save to a file]

  I didn't want to save it to a file, so I hit D once and it changed
  to:

plain text, X-CTEXT                 [Click mouse-2 to display]

  At this point, I know I could have hit D again to expand it, but I
  decided to try mouse-2 to see what would happen.  But when I did, it
  prompted for a filename.

  Not a big deal; I just hit D and read the thing, but the point is
  that mouse-2 didn't do what it said it would.

o I have ("application/x-dvi" "xdvi") in my
  vm-mime-external-content-types-alist, but when I mailed myself a
  .dvi file it showed up with

manual.dvi                          [Click mouse-2 to save to a file]

  in the body of the msg.  A single D didn't seem to do anything, and
  a 2nd expanded the whole mess, but why didn't it say [Click mouse-2
  to display] and then use xdvi to display?

o Another thing related to that last one.  When I tried to attach that
  .dvi it tried to add it as an application/octet-stream and I had to 
  manually tell it application/x-dvi.  Shouldn't it have known from
  the .dvi suffix?

  Oops.  Nevermind.  Just found vm-mime-attachment-auto-type-alist.
  Think it might be common enough be added to the default in
  vm-vars.el? 

Thanks,
