Does elm support a way to creat files in say a users directory instead of /tmp. This is for users who dial up and get hung and thus lose the note they were creating...

If the lost file was created via vi, when they login again, typing vi -r will list any files lost while editing. The user can then vi -r filename to recover the file, save it locally in a filename they like (foo,fred, fnord, ftc), enter elm, start mail to someone, get into the editor and :r filename and there they are.

Is there a simple way to change where mail is created? -- longshot@ecn.purdue.edu (Rich Long) To be "remembered with an affection and veneration that shall surge high above the waters of oblivion and glisten through the rust of time."
