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)
