Sorry for the noise. Another idea, does explicitely "set tempdir="/tmp" change anything? Andre Berger[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Yes. You could try to set the tmp path explicitely and see what happens? Andre Berger[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Sometimes the Mutt temp. files are empty, and at other times they contain the entire message. When the file contains an entire message, is it one that you have viewed in a pager (internal or external?) or one that you have composed in your editor? I had the problem that every message viewed in the pager got left behind when I run Mutt on MS Windows'2000. (and, if i recall, the same happened with cygwin if the temp directory was on a fat drive but not when it was on an ntfs drive) Since it was very consistent it might not be the same, but it seemed as if unlink misbehaved when unlinking open files. A small change in pager.c to not unlink until after the file is closed solved my temp-file mysterium. /Ulf

I see quite a few temp files left over in /tmp, some by homebrewn programs, some by system commands (man(1) seems the worst offender). It doesn't always happen, maybe there is some kind of (not so rare) race condition.
