It doesn't seem OT to me (smile): in ~/.muttrc include the line |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
set tmpdir="/var/tmp" |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Vim otherwise continues to keep its .swp files |
| 15 |
in the same dir as the file it's editing; only Mutt is affected, |
| 16 |
but you are guaranteed recovery of an e-mail being edited during a crash. |

To set the system to clear /tmp at boot, |
| 19 |
edit /etc/conf.d/bootmisc to include the line |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
WIPE_TMP="yes" |
