shouldn't the default be rather ~/.mutt/ or ~/.cache/mutt ?
This was discussed in the ticket (https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues/65).
There were various ideas, but in the end /var/tmp seemed to be the best compromise. They are basically temp files that we want to survive a reboot.
We dont want other users to read our drafts. The same argument applies for all temp files created by mutt.
They won't be. umask is 077 in mutt. -- Kevin J. McCarthy GPG Fingerprint: 8975 A9B3 3AA3 7910 385C 5308 ADEF 7684 8031 6BDA
