Summary: archivemail not preserving selinux security context

Initial Comment:
under selinux, archivemail writes to a temporary file, which it then renames to the output file.

Unfortuneatly, this process leaves the output file labeled with a tmp_t security context instead of that of the input file (usually user_u:object_r:user_home_t).

This is not a good thing.

Message:
archivemail 0.8.0 no longer updates mboxes by renaming a temporary file, so
this shouldn't happen anymore.
