It looks good to me, provided the environment variable "MAIL" has been 
set correctly.  Do you want to try it first by giving an explicit file 
name for the spool file?  Once you get it to work, you can investigate 
what might be going wrong with the environment variable.

We will be glad to hear of your experiences regarding how gnus and VM 
differ.
