Generally speaking, they are stored wherever you have specified in
your muttrc. Specifically, you use the $record variable, e.g.:
set record=~/sentmail

That's something else entirely---that's the result of either mutt or
your text editor (vi? emacs?) not cleaning up after themselves.
Essentially, what happens there is that mutt puts messages into a
temporary file in /tmp for your editor to edit. When the editor exits,
mutt reads that file to find out what's in the message that you want
to send. Once the message is sent, it's supposed to delete that file.
I know mutt had a bug in it that made it leave these things behind a
while back, but it should be fixed by now. What version of mutt are
you using?

The number is mostly random, but I believe it involves your user ID
and the mutt process ID. The details are probably beside the point for
you.

I suggest upgrading to mutt 1.5.17 (the most recent 1.5.x release).
