Vim defaults to keeping temporary files in /var/tmp ,
but Mutt defaults to /tmp & Vim called by Mutt does the same.
Recently, I changed the default in .muttrc to use /var/tmp instead
& as a result I can happily have /tmp cleared at every reboot,
which reminds me, I need to delete many /var/tmp/mutt-* ... (smile).
