No, you reminded me that I indented to suggests this years ago. ;-)

At least in Emacs, `mm-make-temp-file' is just an alias for
`make-temp-file'.  We could ask on emacs-devel if the use of
`convert-standard-filename' in `browse-url-of-buffer' makes sense or
not.

As for your code, it's fine for now if you use `mm-make-temp-file'
instead of `make-temp-name'.

You mean removing the temp file(s)?  Yes, and waiting for your
assignment.

Bye, Reiner.
