I have now added a variable called `vm-save-message-hook' in the 
development version on Launchpad.  If you have never used Launchpad 
before, please see the README file in the VM directory.

The variable stores hook functions that take one argument, the folder 
being saved to.  (My memory is that Emacs Lisp didn't originally have 
hook functions taking arguments, but it does now.  Good for us.)

I am curious how you are going to use this hook.  Will you search 
through all the Org files to see which ones reference the saved message? 
 Or, do you store links from VM folders to the Org files that reference 
them?  (Well, I guess, if you do then you will have the opposite problem 
of updating VM folders when Org files move!)

A better idea in the long run might be to use an index like mairix, 
which keep track of where the messages have moved.  I recall that 
somebody on the Org list mentioned having used it.

Cheers,
