Cool, I didn't know about that. However thinking more on my needs, I think my initial request is not appropriate: what I really need the following: First I'm using emacs to compose my email but I suspect the same is true for others editors. When working in a project directory, I sometimes need to write an email including some outpouts coming from a shell command. So I launch mutt then start composing my email using emacs. But emacs was launches to edit '/tmp/Mutt-xxx', therefore the working directory of emacs is now /tmp which is not very interesting if I need to start some shell commands. To workaround this I set tmpdir to '.' which works fine. But there is still a little issue: if I do an 'ls' command for example, I now see the Mutt-xxx file in my current directory which is a little bit annoying. So the question is now: can I specify the template of this temporary file used by mutt when composing an email ? Thanks -- Francis
