Don't you hate when you have to fill in the blank to an empty
Save MIME part to: ~/
prompt?

Sure one can set mm-default-directory, but what about the filename?

(Yes, one can cheat a little (setq mm-default-directory "/tmp/vvv-"))

So there should be some filename template variable, nil by default, that
will prompt to save to xyz-%d.%s e.g., xyz-001.html depending if that
file doesn't exist yet.

Even GIMP prompts with Untitled.jpg.
Even  ... prompts with ...

Let's take a look at a typical HTML mail,

! MIME-Version: 1.0
! Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
! Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

So here we can already know we can help the user put an .html at the end
of the proposed target filename.
