Vim defaults to keeping temporary files in  /var/tmp ,
but Mutt defaults to  /tmp  & Vim called by Mutt does the same.
Recently, I changed the default in  .muttrc  to use  /var/tmp  instead
& as a result I can happily have  /tmp  cleared at every reboot,
which reminds me, I need to delete many  /var/tmp/mutt-*  ... (smile).
