Hi Adrien,

Mumi appears to have this thing again where clicking on some button to
retrieve a message retrieves the wrong message.  Thus, I will answer to
this one while referencing the stuff in the patches.

It would be nice if we had an actual patch here rather than a crude
substitute*.  I know it's a sed script on Nix, but that feels kinda
weird to say the least.

You should look into making this atomic.  It's currently three syscalls
in a row, which would make this vulnerable to race conditions. 
Consider passing a mode to mkdir.

Cheers
