Hi,

I have vm-delete-empty-folders set to t because usually I don't want
empty folders hanging around.  However, I often find myself emptying
out folders which have corresponding spool files.  Then when I try to
visit these folders again using file name completion, Emacs sees the
spool file and completes the entire spool file name, so I end up
having to delte the ".spool" part of the completed folder name.

Would it be possible to have vm-delete-empty-folders only delete empty
folders for which there is no corresponding spool file?

If this behavior is easily achieved now (I'm using VM 7.17) it is not
obvious to me.

Or, is there an easy way to modify the folder name completion so that
this works the way I want (i.e., if ~/VM/foo.spool exists and I type

  v f TAB

then completion stops at ~/VM/foo)?  I would probably only want this
behavior when using vm-visit-folder.

Or, is there a better solution (I'd really rather not set
vm-delete-empty-folders to nil)?

Thanks,

jwe
