The files are used for temporary storage of composed mail and when you
fill in text areas on web pages. If you use an external editor the file
is saved as a TMP until your done composing your mewssage. If you fill in
a text box on a web page I've noticed that the text is also saved in a
TMP file. You can delete them but they come back whenever you compose
some text.
I've found them quite useful. I use them when I send similar messages to
a lot of different people. Also I can keep a record of what I enter in
text boxes.
