What do you think of the following idea?
Define a new variable (vm-aux-spool-directory?) which would be a
directory to look in for spool files corresponding to any folder
which is visited.
For example, suppose I were to visit folder "some-mailing-list", in my
"~/Mail" directory, and vm-aux-spool-directory was set to
"~/Mail/spool". Then vm would automatically look for a
"~/Mail/spool/some-mailing-list" spool file, and incorporate any new
messages into the folder residing in "~/Mail".
Yes! Yes! Yes!
This would do exactly what I want transparently AND it is a general
solution to the problem. Excellent.
