Looking at the code it seems to be easy to patch nnml.el to prefix the
files with e.g. the username of the person which created it + a
delimiter (for example fschmitt%78 instead of 78). Question is now:

-How about .marks, with or without prefix
-Can one easily delete the prefix while searching for the file to read?
