I've only ever heard of reasons _to_ support TMPDIR due to security, never
the other way around. I guess it's possible FreeBSD's mkstemp() might not
honor TMPDIR due to some standard (POSIX?) not saying it's supposed to (or
even saying it's _not_ supposed to).
I don't see any reason slocal and other nmh commands shouldn't support it,
though. Feel free to send in a patch.
