If I ask FCC to archive a copy of the outgoing mail into the current
folder (or any other folder loaded), I get an error because the buffer
is write protected and the mail is not sent.

Try the following:

    ESC ESC (setq debug-on-error t) RET
    M-x vm-visit-folder RET ~/Mail/Eeee/vm RET
    m
      To: yourself
      Subject: Test
      FCC: ~/Mail/Eeee/vm RET

    C-c C-c

Signalling: (buffer-read-only #<buffer uwe>)
  insert-buffer-substring(#<buffer  rmail output<4>> 1 123)
  byte-code ...
  mail-do-fcc(#<marker at 69 in  sendmail temp>)
  byte-code ...
  sendmail-send-it()
  funcall(sendmail-send-it)
  byte-code ...
  mail-send()
  byte-code ... 
  mail-send-and-exit(nil)
  byte-code ...
  vm-mail-send-and-exit(nil)
  call-interactively(vm-mail-send-and-exit)

I do not know if it is trivial to deal with that, but it could at
least fail gracefully, and the mail ought to be sent.


Another thing about FCC.  I mean to recall that if I FCC to a folder
that is loaded into emacs, the file on disk will not be changed, but
the buffer in memory will be.  I had a folder loaded and FCC tried to
save to another file which was a symbolic link to this folder.  The
file on disk got changed and the buffer in memory was not changed.
Any way to fix that?  I should I just avoid symbolic links?


By the way, c++-mode has a nifty function:

  c++-submit-bug-report	      
  Function: Submit via mail a bug report using the mailer in c++-mailer.

It inserts a list of all important variables into the mail.  If VM had
a similar one, I would not have to type: "I use Emacs 18.59.1 and VM
5.33 (beta)".
