[VM 5.33 beta]

If I invoke vm-mail in a buffer that lies in a directory which I
cannot write, the autosave routine will try to save *VM-Mail* to that
directory, and fail, thus beeping every 300 keystrokes.

What is the right thing to do?  Change vm-mail,
make-auto-save-file-name or buffer-auto-save-file-name?  Or something
else?
