[VM] 8.2.0b - won't save messages to non-existing local folder

[John Stoffel]

Hi Uday,

I upgraded to VM 8.2.0b on RHEL5.6, emacs 22.1.1 as a test and it's
generally working well, except for one major change from 8.1.1 which I
was running before. Basically, if I try to save a message to a folder
that doesn't exist, it won't let me!

I'm not using IMAP at all, just local folders. I have
vm-confirm-new-folders set to nil, so I'm not sure what's going on
here. I've looked at the code, but my elisp-foo is non-existent.

If I touch an empty file, then VM allows me to save the message to the
pre-existing, but empty folder.

Can we please fix this in time for 8.2.0 is released? Or is there a
workaround I can use?

Thanks,
John

Dear John, I couldn't reproduce the problem. Can you file a bug report?
Please use M-x vm-submit-bug-report.

Cheers,

I'll try to reproduce it withouth my old ancient vm7.x and older
settings that I still have sitting around in my .vm and .emacs files.
Maybe I've got a wierd conflict there that needs to be addressed.

If I can't figure it out I'll try to file a bug report this week.
