Since this requires some restructuring of the code, it may not be

Good point.
What filesystems do not support the characters appearing in valid message
IDs?
As a temporary measure, you could use a CGI program that took the message
ID as a parameter, and retrieved the appropriate filename using the
information from .mhonarc.db. That would resolve the problem of invalid
filenames by giving you a persistent method for retrieving messages
independent of the filename.
