I discussed this with you a long while ago. It seems to me, that it
would be very useful to have a setting of vm-circular-folders for
which only interactively executed motion commands treated the folder
as circular. Therefore, any motion commands called as a consequence of
having vm-move-after-deleting non-nil wouldn't treat the folder as
circular. I've never found it useful to have vm wrap to the first
message after I delete the last message. In fact, it's invariably
annoying.
