mime tmp files

I have just started using pgnus 0.75 and I noticed that it leaves
dropping in my /tmp directory after I've excited the program -- namely
directories that contain previously viewed mime files. Is this to be
expected?

Thanks,

No, it should delete the files when you view the next article, or exit
the group.  Could you try to see under what circumstances it fails to
do so?

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,

This only happens for message/rfc822 parts, and nothing but those?
