	This of course will not work, as this variable already uses nil
	to mean “do not auto save,” so we need some other value (say,
	'auto) for the purpose.

	Please consider the revised patch MIMEd.

	* lisp/gnus/message.el (subr-x): Require feature.
	(message-auto-save-directory): Default to 'auto.
	(message-auto-save-directory): New function.
	(message-set-auto-save-file-name): Use it.
