All of the saving functions generally ignore the supplied path -- they
usually refer to local paths on the sender's machine, so they aren't
very useful.  Not ignoring the path is also a security risk -- if
you're reading mail as root, and you get something that's called
"/etc/passwd", the MUA would be doing you a disservice if it gave you
that as the default name to save.

So, I think the current method is fine.
