It's just a string. whatnow2 will use it as an extention to the filename.
So lets use my config as an example. I have following in my profile:
Metafile-Extension: .meta
Lets asume the draft has the message number 1. So the filename is ``1''
and the filename for the state is ``1.meta''. So you can use all[0]
charrecter your FS supports. I recommend stick to printable ascii.

[0] expection: leading and trailing white space will be stript by mmh and
all white space charrecters will be translated to space.
