   "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.
