The concern is that the file would be named "hello world.eml" and it 
would end up placed in the root of tmp.

Additionally, how will you handle double-byte languages and characters 
your FS won't allow in a file name?

I suggest you look at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename#Reserved_characters_and_words

I would strongly recommend you use the queueID and then parse the file 
for the Subject header to avoid these numerous issues.
