There are probably people who use this feature. For example if you create a packed archive which you only need for one mail. But this is probably less than 5% the case and one can still remove such temporary files by hand. If you are aware of this feature you may check the `-' at the left. But I was surprised too that such a feature exists at all. And I think people don't want to read the _whole_ manual before start using Mutt. I think this feature should be removed or else there should be a warning prompt: Should this file be removed after composing is done? (yes/[no]): -Hanspeter
