Quickly tested on OpenBSD 7.8, seems to work.

I'm not convinced this is worth the effort and extra code, but I'm OK
with it if Kevin wants to have it.

That being said, without that patch mutt will respect TMPDIR when
creating the draft file. With the patches applied TMPDIR is ignored.
This might break existing workflows.

Also as /var/tmp is not defined by POSIX yet, are we really sure it will
exist on all systems?
