But I don't. Sieve could do just about anything to the message.

then surely you have a temporary directory in the "tmp" out of Maildir's {new,cur,tmp} ? And also the potential benefit of being able to rename the resulting file into the "new" directory.

This is a very Maildir-specific optimization that doesn't work with anything else.

I would like to have the temporary directory be configurable (but with a sane default like /tmp or perhaps /tmp/dovecot).

Sure.
