[VM] International characters in Subject line

Hi:
The vm summary buffer crashes whenever I receive en email with a Subject: line that is an encoded string od i8n characters. . ie something like:

Subject: =?UT-8?B?VG9waWMgcmVwbHk...

(truncated for brevity)

I can no longer navigate around the summary, but I can n/p through the presentation buffer. The error is something like 'Wrong type markerp' (sorry, lost the original error). The only way to recover is to exit vm, remove the vm cache files, and use thunderbird to delete the offending message from the server.

Is there a fix for this?

emacs 23
vm: 8.1.0
emacspeak: 36.0

Thanks.

Dear Les,

Please try the latest VM release available from the project page

http://launchpad.net/vm

and file a bug report if it still doesn't work. You will need to provide
full information about the error and, if possible, a sample message that
causes the problem.

Cheers, Uday
