Description Richard W.M. Jones 2012-09-18 13:27:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

Unfortunately with the tmp-on-tmpfs misfeature, /tmp is
now volatile.  If the machine crashes, your precious email
is gone.  Previously you might have got the email back by
rebooting the machine and looking in /tmp.

It should probably use /var/tmp instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mutt-1.5.21-13.fc18.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mutt on F18
2. mutt foo
3. In the editor, notice it's using /tmp to compose the email.
