Subject: [PATCH] fix template/mailfile detection while argument parsing

If template 'foo' is being used in a directory where ./foo exists,
the argument parsing decides that ./foo must be the message to
rewrite and clobbers it.

Now there are more sanity checks in place, and I first try to determine
the template, then the file.
