I also see a large number of ns* temporary files that Thunderbird leaves behind in `/tmp/`. This is quite annoying.
I've currently got almost 1000 ns* files there: ``` /tmp/nsemail-328.eml /tmp/nsemail-622.eml /tmp/nsmail-2.pdf /tmp/nsemail-329.eml /tmp/nsemail-623.eml /tmp/nsmail-2.png /tmp/nsemail-32.eml /tmp/nsemail-624.eml /tmp/nsmail-2.tmp /tmp/nsemail-330.eml /tmp/nsemail-625.eml /tmp/nsmail-30.tmp /tmp/nsemail-331.eml /tmp/nsemail-626.eml /tmp/nsmail-31.tmp /tmp/nsemail-332.eml /tmp/nsemail-627.eml /tmp/nsmail-32.tmp /tmp/nsemail-333.eml /tmp/nsemail-628.eml /tmp/nsmail-33.tmp /tmp/nsemail-334.eml /tmp/nsemail-629.eml /tmp/nsmail-34.tmp /tmp/nsemail-335.eml /tmp/nsemail-62.eml /tmp/nsmail-3.eml /tmp/nsemail-336.eml /tmp/nsemail-630.eml /tmp/nsmail-3.jpeg /tmp/nsemail-337.eml /tmp/nsemail-631.eml /tmp/nsmail-3.pdf /tmp/nsemail-338.eml /tmp/nsemail-632.eml /tmp/nsmail-3.tmp /tmp/nsemail-339.eml /tmp/nsemail-633.eml /tmp/nsmail-4.eml /tmp/nsemail-33.eml /tmp/nsemail-634.eml /tmp/nsmail-4.jpeg /tmp/nsemail-340.eml /tmp/nsemail-635.eml /tmp/nsmail-4.pdf /tmp/nsemail-341.eml /tmp/nsemail-636.eml /tmp/nsmail-4.tmp /tmp/nsemail-342.eml /tmp/nsemail-637.eml /tmp/nsmail-5.eml /tmp/nsemail-343.eml /tmp/nsemail-638.eml /tmp/nsmail-5.jpeg /tmp/nsemail-344.eml /tmp/nsemail-639.eml /tmp/nsmail-5.pdf /tmp/nsemail-345.eml /tmp/nsemail-63.eml /tmp/nsmail-5.tmp /tmp/nsemail-346.eml /tmp/nsemail-640.eml /tmp/nsmail-6.eml /tmp/nsemail-347.eml /tmp/nsemail-641.eml /tmp/nsmail-6.jpeg /tmp/nsemail-348.eml /tmp/nsemail-642.eml /tmp/nsmail-6.pdf /tmp/nsemail-349.eml /tmp/nsemail-643.eml /tmp/nsmail-6.tmp /tmp/nsemail-34.eml /tmp/nsemail-644.eml /tmp/nsmail-7.jpeg /tmp/nsemail-350.eml /tmp/nsemail-645.eml /tmp/nsmail-7.pdf /tmp/nsemail-351.eml /tmp/nsemail-646.eml /tmp/nsmail-7.tmp /tmp/nsemail-352.eml /tmp/nsemail-647.eml /tmp/nsmail-8.pdf /tmp/nsemail-353.eml /tmp/nsemail-648.eml /tmp/nsmail-8.tmp /tmp/nsemail-354.eml /tmp/nsemail-649.eml /tmp/nsmail-9.pdf /tmp/nsemail-355.eml /tmp/nsemail-64.eml /tmp/nsmail-9.tmp /tmp/nsemail-356.eml /tmp/nsemail-650.eml /tmp/nsmail.asc /tmp/nsemail-357.eml /tmp/nsemail-651.eml /tmp/nsmail.docx /tmp/nsemail-358.eml /tmp/nsemail-652.eml /tmp/nsmail.eml /tmp/nsemail-359.eml /tmp/nsemail-653.eml /tmp/nsmail.ics /tmp/nsemail-35.eml /tmp/nsemail-654.eml /tmp/nsmail.jpeg /tmp/nsemail-360.eml /tmp/nsemail-655.eml /tmp/nsmail.odt /tmp/nsemail-361.eml /tmp/nsemail-656.eml /tmp/nsmail.pdf /tmp/nsemail-362.eml /tmp/nsemail-657.eml /tmp/nsmail.png /tmp/nsemail-363.eml /tmp/nsemail-658.eml /tmp/nsmail.tmp /tmp/nsemail-364.eml /tmp/nsemail-659.eml /tmp/nsmail.zip /tmp/nsemail-365.eml /tmp/nsemail-65.eml ``` This is just an excerpt. There are many more, total 989 files.
