Agreed.

On my RH 6.1 box with mutt-1.0pre3i and a muttrc that doesn't set a
tmpdir and sets joe as the editor, I have much the same: files of the
style mutt-aloss-31900-47~
[hobbit@aloss ~]$ ls /tmp | grep mutt | wc -l
73
Ouch.
It must be vim, because I'm sure it's joe that's leaving mine:
that appended tilde is generally a good hint :)
Similarly, I use xv for viewing images, but when using it from
mutt I get messages of the style, "Can't open /tmp/mutt-7893252"
and a "Bummer!" dialogue box from xv. I don't really know what's
going on here, but it happens so rarely that I always forget :)
