[VM] Problem with attavhments in 8.2.0b

[Sorry, I wasn't monitoring the gnu.emacs.vm.bug newsgroup as it fell
into disuse. Please send bug reports using M-x vm-submit-bug-report.]

I recall seeing behaviour like this some time ago, but I don't recall
when it happened. Searching through the bug reports didn't bring up
anything.

You might just wait for the next releast, which might have fixed the
problem. Or back up to an earlier release on http://launchpad.net/vm.

I recently switched to vm 8.2.0b and now I have a problem with
attachments.
The previous version (8.1.2) allowed me to click on an attachment to open it in
an external program, but this version doesn't do that. Instead the

It doesn't matter which mouse button I click. (Actually I am using
Aquamacs on a Macbook which has only one mouse button, but ctrl-click is
mouse-3 and cmd-click is mouse-2). I also have
(define-key vm-mode-map [follow-link] 'mouse-face)
to enable mouse-1 to be used to follow links.
I can open the attachment with $e but I would prefer the mouse click to
work. Is there a way to revive this possibility or is this a bug?

Found the old bug report. (I guess it was marked as "won't fix" because
it was a duplicate. So, it didn't show up in searches.)

I have added a patch to the bug report at the bottom, which you can
apply and recompile.
