A filename can't be prefixed with a slash (not easily, anyhow). Well,
if it had, you'd have trouble deleting it anyway.

It's because some people's spool directories are split into subfolders.
If yours isn't, the bit between the slashes will be empty. Read the
code,

grep %s/%s *

in the src folder will show most of them. Ideally it would only insert
the slash if the spool directory is split, but since it works without
such code, there doesn't seem much point changing it.
