The only type of honeyvine I'm familiar with, Angie, is Cynanchum laeve - it doesn't have any fuzz, the leaves are quite smooth. There are several other kinds of vines in the milkweed family, like Matela and Sarcostemma - maybe some of them have fuzzy leaves.

I've replied to everybody above, and sent updates on everybody whose SAS(B)E I have received and sent back out so far, except dear Wilmoth - my email wouldn't send my update to you for some reason... I went ahead and mailed your honeyvine and morning glory as well as your "wintersowing swap" seeds in the SASBE you had sent me, as I didn't receive your reply until after the seeds were already in the mail - sorry about that! Offer is still open at this time. Terri :-)

Thanks Sherry, A friend had a more productive search than I did, and discovered this isn't a honeyvine milkweed, but rather a carrion flower vine. Its native, which is good. And has berries that feed wildlife. I suppose for me, its better than the milkweed vine, since I already have tons of the regular milkweed and now I won't have to try to control the milkweed vine.

I'm a huge milkweed fan, and would like to get a better description of the vine you mentioned "Morrenia odorata". Even better would be a photo. There are other Cynanchum vines than the Laeve species. I'm only familiar with the Cynanchum Laeve and don't know if any of the other species in the genus has fuzz. It would not surprise me, since the species in the genus Asclepias that I'm collecting vary greatly in the amount of fuzziness their leaves have, some none at all, one completely covered.

Scratch that request, I've found a couple sites that describe it well and a number of photos.
