Is this a bug, though?

"I'd tend to agree. Make it a bug-report?"
It still annoys me that every time I fire up
emacs -Q C-x m
to test something, I have to delete ~/Mail afterwards. And I can't even
use rmdir, because it contains an empty `drafts' subdirectory. Grr.
If ~/Mail does not exist already, hide the auto-saves away somewhere
under ~/.emacs.d rather than creating ~/Mail just for them and and I
will be happy.

I've changed it to save the auto-saves to ~. That way no directories
will be created by sending email under -Q.
