vm:    5.31 (beta)
emacs: 18.57

I receive a lot of e-mail (100+/day), which I sort using
vm-auto-folder-alist.  I accidentally hit 'A' vm-auto-archive-message 
in a folder that had a lot of already auto-saved messages.
It started though the folder saving new copies of the messages back
in the same folder.  This created a loop which quickly exploded
and created many duplicated messages before I was able to stop it.
I would suggest the if a message is to be auto-saved in the current
mailbox, then it is ignored.  The same goes for prompting of 
the folder to save in.

This brings up a couple of other things I've noticed about vm.
I have vm-startup-with-summary set to 'both.  If I happen to be 
visiting a folder when I save something into it, vm takes the time
to rebuild the summary before going on to the next message.
Since the mailbox may have 100 messages in it, this takes too much time.

One more quick thing:
   Vm could use a command to report bugs.  It would put you in 
an outgoing mail buffer with apropriate version and variable settings
included.  

   HAVE A DAY
