so the recommended advice in the u-vm-color file header is to use

;;  (defadvice vm-decode-mime-message (after u-vm-color activate)
;;    (u-vm-color-fontify-buffer-even-more))

this function does (widen), and perhaps that's too much of a widening?
if I change to this advice:
      (defadvice vm-decode-mime-message (after u-vm-color activate)
        (u-vm-color-fontify-buffer))
I think things are a bit better.  perhaps you can see if this works for you too.
