No, it's my macro for saving attachments. Why it used to insert the /
and doesn't any more I don't know.
It used to be:-
macro attach s "<save-entry><bol>/tmp<eol>" "Save to /tmp"
simply adding the / has fixed my problem:-
macro attach s "<save-entry><bol>/tmp/<eol>" "Save to /tmp"
Thanks for the pointer about $tmpdir! :-)
