 I've never seen this and all I can say is that M deletes the file when the
editor process terminates. When this happens it also gives a message in the
status bar of the composer ("External editor terminated..."), do you see
it?

 This requires incomparably more time than I have right now :-( I still
hope to be able to do it, especially as the basic support for it is there
(since 5 years) but I don't know when.

 Definitely -- and this shouldn't happen independently of whether it is MT
or not. Did you obtain any crush dumps from it?

 Thanks,
