[Bug: 21.5-b27] bug executing function from command line

================================================================
Dear Bug Team!

It seems that XEmacs does not initialize properly when a function (-f)
or a lisp form (-eval) is given on the command line.  For example if I
run "xemacs -q -f vm" I get significantly different behavior than if I
run "xemacs -q" and then type "M-x vm".  In the first case, when I hit
"m" to send a mail message the vm gets messed up (the summary and
current message are refreshed on top of the left button bar).  In the
latter case everything works properly.

In addition, if I change the default font size to 14pt in custom.el.
The former case does not resize the frame properly to account for the
larger font size.  The latter case resizes the frame properly.

This issue does not occur under 21.5-b21.

Warning: 

Defaulting to the GNU Emacs-derived `sendmail.el' mail client. This facility,
while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get
better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without
packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail
clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x
report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly.

To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" ->
"Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the
list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities.

To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly
initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent .
