While Stuart has an interesting point, I'd like to mention that the prompt
is completely different when you've gotten to the end of the message, which
you can use to clue yourself into the fact that you're at the end.

+For example: =test means save in ~/Mail/test; #test could mean ~/News/test.

I might be misunderstanding something, because Stuart's example seems
not to fit what he says.  He says he wants another special character to
expand to the folders directory, but your his shows it expanding to a
different directory.  If what he meant to say is

	Could we add another special char to allow direct saving to mailbox
	files in a  different directory.

then I ask: What different directory? Is there any one directory that people
have that bears some relationship to mail other the one's folders directory?
