I recently discovered that I can have subfolders of folders. My problem is
that I don't have file completion for subfolders as I do for the top level
folders. Can anyone tell me how to make this work?

I.e., I have the following function defined:

(defun my-visit-folder (&optional arg)
  "Scan an MH mail box without first attempting to incorporate new mail.
This front end uses the MH mail system, which uses different conventions
from the usual mail system."
  (require 'mh-e "mh-e.elc")
  (interactive "P")
  (mh-find-path)
      (call-interactively 'mh-visit-folder))
(global-set-key "\C-x\C-v" 'my-visit-folder)


What I want to do is type "C-xC-v em<TAB>pac<TAB>" to load my emacs/packages
folder. When I type "C-xC-v em<TAB>" the folder name gets expanded to "emacs",
but when I then add "/pac<TAB>" I get "[no match]". I have made sure that my
emacs folder does not contain too maaany files/folders (about 20 at the
moment) as we are set up for a max of 100 files in a mh folder. 

Any ideas?
