Jamie has answered my questions, and I have been happily using 'mail-do-fcc
for a week now.

What it boils down to is:

Loading the mail-do-fcc file after sendmail.el replaces the function by 
that name that is invoked indirectly from vm-reply.el .
This one works just as you would like for sending mail while the outbox
is open.  Why the standard one fails, I haven't figured out, but it doesn't
seem to be for a good reason.

Jamie and others have used this version with no lossage for nearly two years.

To make it work, one way is to put  (require 'sendmail) at the start of 
the mail-do-fcc  file and load that as part of your 'vm-mode-hooks  .

This looks like another one of those things that is not part of VM itself,
but is so closely related, that I think it really makes sense to make it 
easily available along with, if not as part of the VM package.

Thanks again, Jamie.
