+Do we want to overwrite an existing message with this name? As far as I\r
+can see rename does overwrite and link would not: was that why rename is\r
+better than link/unlink?\r
+\r
+I would prefer not to overwrite but maybe there is a reason we need to. \r
+Would a possible alternative be to loop when finding a tmp file until\r
+both the tmp file and the new file do not exist?\r
