Generally, mutt shouldn't leave files behind. There have been one or 
two bugs that would cause it to leave files behind (that have been 
fixed) and one or two issues with broken filesystems that would cause 
files to be left behind (which can't be fixed). You should update to 
the most recent version of mutt in order to make sure those bugs are 
fixed, but generally, you should be able to delete everything in the 
tmp folder whenever mutt exits - you can create a shell script wrapper 
around mutt to make that happen.
