🚀 go-pugleaf

In version 5.31 beta:

I am trying to send a message with vm-mail.  The message includes an
FCC line to a folder ~/mail/sent (set from mail-archive-file-name).  I
also happen to be currently visiting the "sent" folder.  vm-mail-send
fails to send the message or save it in the file and gives an error
"Buffer is read-only: #<buffer sent>".

So vm is marking its folders as read-only and mail-send can't deal
with it.  Seems some appropriate checks in vm-mail-send ought to fix
this.

On another only slightly related note, I would like to be able to save
outgoing mail in a folder chosen based on vm-auto-folder-alist.
Currently (yes, I removed it when checking for the above bug) I have a
nasty mess that uses a call to a hacked up copy of vm-auto-select-folder, 
but its not a solution I'm proud of.  If this sounds like something
useful, maybe it can squirm its way into vm proper where I'm sure it
can be implemented much more cleanly.
