Package: xemacs21 Version: 21.4.6-8 Severity: normal VM seems to implement FCC (folder carbon copy) by loading the file you specify, appending the current message to it, and writing the result. If some other process is filling up the disk while this is happening, the resulting folder may be truncated at ANY point, hence losing earlier mail (not just the mail you've just written). I just lost a whole month of email that way. Why didn't VM say something like "error writing the folder" and keep the copy in the Emacs buffer? By the time I found out, I had already quit Emacs for the day and it was too late to recover anything.
