Yes, this is still the case on Lucid (and Maverick). What did you think
had changed?
To summarise:
- mutt's default 'tmpdir' is still /tmp
- vim's default 'directory' for where it keeps swap files still tries '.'
first, which will be /tmp when composing email in mutt.
- Ubuntu still defaults to removing every file in /tmp as soon as it is
mounted (see /etc/init/mounted-tmp.conf and $TMPTIME in /etc/defaults/rcS).
i.e. the default configuration is exactly the same as when I first
reported this bug, so the behaviour by default is to actively lose
unsaved email after a system crash, rather than preserve it. I have
configured my own system differently to workaround this issue for me,
but the default behaviour is still poor.
