      Good idea.  I think size should be in number of messages rather
      than bytes, though.

   What is the relative effect of number of messages vs. number of bytes on
   how long it takes VM to load a folder?

It should really allow either setting dependent on the symbol's
variable value. In fact, I'd like to see it execute the symbol's
function cell, and act on the result. That way I could set my own test
function.

I would not suggest this be the default behavior, just that it
overrride the default vm-confirm-quit behavoir. Is there interest in
this?
