If you don't want Vim saving the swapfile in the same directory as the file being edited, then configure it not to. For example, I have the ~/.vim/tmp as the first directory Vim tries to store swapfiles in by adding the following line to my ~/.vimrc:
set directory^=~/.vim/tmp " Prepend ~/.vim/tmp to the list of directories used Or you could simply set directory to a specific directory you always want Vim to use. You could also set mutt's tmpdir to be something other than /tmp (like ~/tmp). I don't see how you not configuring mutt or Vim to behave how you want is a bug in either application. -- Cannot recover unsaved email after system crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/11899 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
