Yes, it this code, I'd guess:

(defun message-set-auto-save-file-name ()
  "Associate the message buffer with a file in the drafts directory."
  (when message-auto-save-directory
    (unless (file-directory-p
	     (directory-file-name message-auto-save-directory))
      (make-directory message-auto-save-directory t))
[...]
