Mutt edits the message as a temporary file in $tmpdir. Usually this is
set to /tmp. Here is the relevant section from the mutt manual.
3.307. tmpdir
Type: path
Default: (empty)
This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its temporary
files needed for displaying and composing messages. If this variable is
not set, the environment variable $TMPDIR is used. If $TMPDIR is not
set then "/tmp" is used.
Hope this helps,
