Because of the problem of MS email clients with windows1252
charsets, the variable vm-fsfemacs-mule-p was set to nil in my .vm. 

Removing this fixed the problem.

This subject line problem in Summary buffer is also fixed now.

However, this fix for the Summary buffer only works for plain text

Leaving vm-fsfemacs-mule-p as t, I don't have this problem any
longer.
