* This would probably be a better "main hook" to use if you elaborate/implement my suggestion:
vm-visit-folder-hook
List of hook functions called just after VM visits a folder. It doesn't matter if the folder buffer already exists, this hook is run each time vm or vm-visit-folder is called interactively. It is not run after vm-mode is called.
** Then you change the mail folder into an OrgMode doc?
*** I vaguely remember this, may be wrong; but, I believe VM when saved as folders, it is saved as simple text document you can then easily change into .org docs using SED/AWK/PERL/PANDOC whatever.

** I used to use VM in EMACS, worked great, highly recommend it--you could then use EMACS hooks like:
"vm-mail-hook
List of hook functions to be run after a Mail mode composition buffer has been created to send a non specialized message, i.e. a message that is not a reply, forward, digest, etc. VM runs this hook and then runs vm-mail-mode-hook before leaving you in the Mail mode buffer.
--and hook those hooks (the list of hooks is 20+ long) up to creating an OrgMode document---maybe somewhat in the way Josh suggested--e.g.:
(add-hook 'vm-summary-update-hook 'org-capture)

I am partial to just opening a mail buffer and writing email in Emacs. Just that. However, it would be great to save a copy in an org file.
An emacs FAQ suggests sending a BCC or FCC to oneself. What I want is a copy stored in an org-mode subtree, with a convenient headline indicating the name of the recipient and the date.
So far, I haven't gotten my head around the idea of using BABEL, and I still like text for email. My experiments with GNUS have not been very successful. So far.
I apologize for the naive level of this and some of my other questions. Though I may not be getting the maximum usefulness of all of org-mode's features, those features I do use are awesome. Thank you.
