It doesn't seem OT to me (smile): in ~/.muttrc include the line set tmpdir="/var/tmp" Vim otherwise continues to keep its .swp files in the same dir as the file it's editing; only Mutt is affected, but you are guaranteed recovery of an e-mail being edited during a crash. To set the system to clear /tmp at boot, edit /etc/conf.d/bootmisc to include the line WIPE_TMP="yes" -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
