I'll try to get something working based on this. There are two questions of design now: 1. where should the file be saved? I'm thinking of a new setting in $NOTMUCH_CONFIG, along the lines of sentmail_path=... Should there be a default if this is not set, e.g. a subdirectory "sent" of the directory given in the config variable "path"? 2. of course, filenames need to be unique. Do we want/have to follow the maildir file naming conventions listed at http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html or is it enough to use the Emacs lisp make-temp-file?
