Bug Description

While vm-save-message consults vm-auto-folder-alist, it is strange for the specialized function vm-save-message-to-imap-folder not to consult it. How about vm-save-message-to-local-folder?

Revision 1259 changes vm-save-message-to-imap-folder and makes it symmetric to vm-save-message-to-local-folder.

However, if one uses vm-save-message, it assumes that a local file will be forthcoming. If you type in an IMAP account:mailbox folder, then it is interpreted as a file name.

A robust IMAP url syntax would be needed to get around this problem.
