If we take a different directory, we need to make sure it exists and create it otherwise. (Personally, I don't like programs that clutter up my ~/ with new directories.) Using `message-directory' (default: "~/Mail/") could cause problems; at least if the file looks similar to an mbox file: `nnfolder-directory' defaults to `message-directory' therefore `nnfolder-generate-active-file' would create bogus groups. Subdirs under ~/Mail could conflict e.g. with nnml, I guess. How about only changing the default of `mm-file-name-rewrite-functions' from `nil' to, say `mm-file-name-rfc-2183'? `mm-file-name-rfc-2183' could do the replacements (or offer them?).
