After a long period of time using VM with XEmacs I am now using VM
with

GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2011-03-10 on 3249CTO

The VM version # is

VM version is: 8.1.1

One difference that I noted was that with GNU Emacs the Summary buffer
for my mail archive file was showing the sender information based upon
what was returned by function "(user-login-name)". Investigating, I
found that variable "mail-from-styles" was "angles" in the case of
XEmacs and "default" in the case of GNU Emacs. Once I customized
"mail-from-styles" to "angles" in the case of GNU Emacs, then the
sender information in the Summary buffer for the mail archive file was
from the variable "user-mail-address"--as desired.

In XEmacs "mail-from-style" is given the default value 'angles in
"sendmail.el". In GNU Emacs "mail-from-style" is given the default
value 'default in "sendmail.el".

In both cases I have customized "send-mail-function" as (quote
smtpmail-send-it).
