I received a multi-part MIME message with a number of images.
For some silly reason, these had Content-Types whose name part
contained a directory component, eg:

Content-Type: image/gif; name="images/keytile-topright-white.gif"

Trying to view this with an external viewer failed, because VM was
attempting to use temporary files of the form "/tmp/images/...", and
the images/ subdirectory of course did not exist.

Since vm-make-tempfile-name basically just does

(expand-file-name proposed-filename vm-temp-file-directory)

maybe it should remove any directory part from proposed-filename?
