hello

  besides wanting to know what the latest version of VM is ( my previous post
) i would also like to know what is wrong with the following : 

;; VM variables
(setq auto-folder-alist 
      '(("From" 
	 ("ohoda" . "omar")
	 ("jfatyol" . "ladyJ")
	 ("spathak" . "baldy")
	 ("sandeep" . "baldy")
	 ("jnakra" . "jangs")
	 ("rramach" . "rams")
	 ("SJPULIKK" . "neeti")
	 ("rnadkarn" . "nadu")
	 ("pmuzumda" . "pavan")
	 ("brodrigu" . "bertie")
	 ("kkrishna" . "kannan")
	 ("vkapur" . "vivek"))))

just in case there is something else thhat i am setting incorrectly i have
sent the rest of my VM settings from .emacs . what hhappens is that everytime
i go to save the message by pressing 
 VM prompts me for a name rather then
deciding for itself. as an example 

From: "Jhangir D. Nakra" <jnakra>   ---> the from header of an email

now jnakra is used in my auto-folder-alist and it should save it in thhe
folder called jangs. but instead VM prompts for the folder name in the
minibuffer like so

      Folder to save in: ~/Mail/

and then waits for me enter the name of the folder. why does it do thhat??

hhere's the rest of my VM settings.
