Between 1.5 and 1.6a, saving messages now defaults to using
<Message_subject_text>.eml as default file name instead of message.eml. I'd like
a settings option to go back to message.eml as the default; the new behavior
slows me down.

Reproducible: Always

This was changed because of bug 92726. Personally, I don't give your request
much chance. I don't see why message.eml would be a better filename.

For me it's the consistency of the name. I have a process that looks for
message.eml in a particular directory and parses the contents to generate
database entries (then renames the file when done). Unfortunately, the incoming
subjects aren't quite consistent.

I'm not very hopeful anything will happen, either, but I HATE functionality
changes like this that change without providing an easy escape back to old behavior.

Isn't just easier to change your process to look for any *.eml file in a
directory and when it has processed it move it out of that directory?
