Well, at least that's what "C-h v vm-version" is telling me.

While I could easily do  this on my laptop, I'm  not the guy who decides
what is upgraded when and to which version on the Solaris box on which I
really do my e-mail.  So I somehow HAVE to live with that version there.

Hm, that's exactly what my "vm" under Solaris is NOT  doing when I enter
"s folder" in "vm".  The mail (and the folder file) is terminated with a
single  "\n",  except  for the  cases where  the original  mail  already
contains trailing "\n" characters.

Is there some variable or hook I could use to teach "vm-save-message" to
append an additional "\n" to each mail?

Sincerely
 Rainer
