Nice trick! I tried it and it is working fine for me. Make sure that
you are using revision 957 from the trunk. 'bzr log -l1' can tell you
the verison number.

Actually, I use the auto-folder-alist to determine the folder for
manual saving. If I use it to auto-archive, huge amount of junk from
my INBOX will get saved in tons of folders, which will be hard to
clean up later on.
