As for santizing the filename ... that sounds like something that should
be handled in a post-processing script.  What do others think?

Wearing my sys-admin hat, I've be far more comfortable with people
that really know what they are doing sanitize things within nmh (one
place), rather than having end users (who are not always fully aware
of various trojan techniques or concerned if they do know).

Ken, by "sanitizing", do you mean not using the filenames that
mhstore considers insecure?  Or, the basename that Jón wants?
I thought it was the latter, in which case I agree that it should
be handled by the user.
