emacs-vm problem : movemail and local spool file



Hi,

I got a problem using vm under emacs with local spool files.

I fecth all my mail through fetchmail which directly send mails
through procmail
which filter it with spamassassin.

I put only those lines in my .vm :

(setq vm-primary-inbox (expand-file-name "~/mail/toto"))
(setq vm-spool-files (list "/usr/local/home/bruno/mail/toto.spool"))

Each time I try to get new messages with g or vm-get-new-mail I get
"No New mail".

The spool files is NOT empty (procmail did its job).

When I add this line in my .vm (in order to use emacs movemail and not
mailutils one) :

(setq vm-movemail-program
"/usr/lib/emacs/21.3/powerpc-linux/movemail")

Nothing change but sometime I get some strange crash box's type
unrecognized :

vm-gobble-crash-box: crash box /usr/local/home/bruno/INBOX.CRASH's
type is unrecognized

When I use imap spool files everything's fine (but I do not have any
filter).

Any ideas someone ?

I use emacs 21.3.1, with vm 7.18 on debian-ppc sid.
