* 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.
