Not off hand.  It looks like $MHTMPDIR was introduced between MH 6.8.5
and the entry of nmh into CVS.  MH 6.8.5 hard-coded the use of /tmp/.

The thread beginning at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2014-01/msg00043.html
has the most recent discussion.  But the introduction of ~/mail
(`mhpath +`, actually) was before that.

Personally, I set $TMP.
