I presume that this will also work with numbered backups (but I'm not
certain): 
  
   ;; disable backups for files in /tmp or in my Mail or News directories.
   (defun ecm-backup-enable-predicate (filename)
     (and (not (string= "/tmp/" (substring filename 0 5)))
          (not (string-match "/Mail/" filename))
          (not (string-match "/News/" filename))))
   
   (setq backup-enable-predicate 'ecm-backup-enable-predicate)
