If you go into Preferences and locate the Kindle2/3/4/Touch/etc. driver and open it's customization page, you can move mobi above azw3 in the formats/order screen. In the attached image, you can see azw3 then mobi. If you remove the checkmark from azw3, this should make mobi the default and force conversion of azw3 to mobi before sending. Not sure if this requires moving mobi above azw3 in the list but the simple de-select should do the job.

If you are curious as the what the full save template is:

Code:
/Elibrary/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{series:| |} {series_index:||} - {title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}
Basically, the root would be Elibrary in whatever directory your Kindle uses for documents, then the first author name in author_sort as a subdirectory. If the ebook has a series/series index they are used as the first part of the filename followed by the title and the first author name in the author list.
