mb> Steven,

Cool.

What do you think, Kyle?

sb> How does 5.97 look?  

Probably the same ;-). It looks to be mostly esoteric bug-fixes:

-*-Text-*-

VM 5.97 released (22 December 1996)

* temporarily set print-length to nil while VM is writing out
  Lisp objects.
* changed vm-menu-support-possible-p to accept 'win32 as a
  window-system value that means menu support is possible.
* fixed parse problem in vm-parse-addresses with () and "".  Also
  change code not to put empty strings recipients in the returned
  list.
* made vm-toolbar a user variable.  Experimental.
* documentation fixes

I haven't looked into vm-toolbar in depth yet.

sb> Would someone please upload a copy to ftp.xemacs.org
sb> /pub/beta/incoming?

Done:

  /anonymous@ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/beta/incoming:
  total 4
  drwxrwx---   2 beta     beta         512 Dec 22 03:07 .
  drwxr-x---  13 beta     beta         512 Sep 16 23:13 ..
C -rw-r--r--   1 12353    6666      189768 Dec 23 19:33 vm-5.97.tar.gz

The owner/group were set by EFS (I directly transferred from
ftp.uu.net to ftp.xemacs.org). I hope that's OK.

Cheers,
