Summary: crashes on zero-size mbox folder.

Initial Comment:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 6, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/archivemail/archivemail.py", line 686, in main
    archive(mailbox_path)
  File "/usr/share/archivemail/archivemail.py", line 1125, in archive
    new_temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp('archivemail')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tempfile.py", line 320, in mkdtemp
    dir = gettempdir()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tempfile.py", line 262, in gettempdir
    tempdir = _get_default_tempdir()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tempfile.py", line 209, in _get_default_tempdir
    ("No usable temporary directory found in %s" % dirlist))
IOError: [Errno 2] No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp',
'/usr/tmp', '/root']

Happens on some empty folders.  Does not happen on others.  Not sure why, all the listed temp dirs exist on my systems.  If I edit my wrapper script to only run archivemail against nonzero size boxes, i only get one error.  Not sure who, but I have one user who's at quota.

I'm the Fedora maintainer for this, so I'll submit a patch if I find a solution.
