hm. By choosing a suitable Subject:, I guess.

Start the Subject with "uml:" and then avoid getting fancy in the rest of
the subject and things should work out OK. Spaces and other funny
characters are replaced with "-" and underscores are retained.

I use the below piece of ad-hoc revoltium to canonicalise Subject:s into
filenames:

line=$(echo "$line" | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^subject:[ ]*//')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^fw:[ ]*//')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^fwd:[ ]*//')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^aw:[ ]*//')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^re:[ ]*//')

line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^patch//')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e "s/['\(\)\<\>\{\}\,\.\\]//g")
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e "s/[\#\*\&\+\^\!\~\`\:\?\;]//g")
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e "s/[\$]//g")
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/"//g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^[-]*//g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/\[[^]]*\]//g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/[ ]*\[patch\][ ]*//')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/\[//g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/\]//g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/ -/-/g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/- /-/g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/[ ][ ]*/-/g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's,/,-,g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/--/-/g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/-$//g')
line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^-//g')
