Ok, I've been able to reproduce this reliably in 0.76.

When I've received a mime-encoded forwarded message, I left-click on
its selector [1. message/rfc822]... in the *Article* buffer, and then
hit 'v' to view it. For the Viewer: option in the minibuffer I press
[Enter]. The message is displayed, and a directory is created in /tmp
like

rwx------   2 jraymond jraymond     1024 Feb 11 17:20 emm.a06568

This directory contains the file:
-rw-r--r--   1 jraymond jraymond     1680 Feb 11 17:20 mm.a06568

Neither the file nor the directory are removed when I quit Gnus.

Thanks,
