Yes it does, but James already changes the name several times in the course
of processing a message so I didn't think this was introducing anything new.

Your patch changed the mail's name, which has a meaning for the 
application, to work around a bug in *one* of the storage mechanisms.  I 
would much rather fix the storage mechanism than add your patch and 
otherwise leave future developers to worry about this kind of stuff.
