I set my auto-mode-alist as follows

(setq vm-auto-folder-alist
	       '(("From" ("foo"
			  (buffer-substring (match-beginning 1) 
					    (match-end 1))))))

And I save a few message from foo to folder "foo" (by using "A" in my
my INBOX). I then visit foo, and hit "A". VM then goes into an
infinite loop archiving messages from this folder back into itself.
