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.
