Maybe, the expression 'temp' gives you the wrong impression. You could
also say, they are backups of all incoming mail.
Once upon a time there was a Gnus version fallen out of CVS which ate
all my incoming mail for breakfast instead of displaying it. I was
pretty lucky to have those Incoming files. Thus, I was able to refead
the mail after the bug has been fixed.
