For an example, look in "~jbw/.vm".  There should be an example for this
variable in the manual when VM 5 is officially released (I hope).

No, not really, that's one of my biggest complaints about the archiving
mechanism.  The only thing I can think of is to have two different values
for vm-auto-folder-alist and to switch between them.  You would use the
first value for "throwing some but not all incoming mail into folders" and
the second value for "archiving the rest after you've seen them".

Anyone know of a better scheme?
