Bug Description

Binary package hint: mutt

Copies of attachments viewed using an external program via mutt's "v" menu are left in /tmp after mutt is closed. The files left behind are not globally readable, but they are visible to other users and their names are those of the original attachments, allowing other users to see what you have been working on.

This seems to be the same as Debian bug 569500, for which a patch is available. Please apply this patch to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
