Mutt /tmp full error when "trying" to read email

I get similar error when trying to open text/enriched emails.
mutt creates a temprorary file under /tmp until it fills the
partition, then I get
/tmp: write failed, filesystem is full
If I'm able to exit mutt normally, the file is deleted automatically.
If I kill mutt process I can see huge mutt-<something> file under /tmp.
I reported this in
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2009-09/msg00502.html
I think this must be a bug since text/enriched is supposed to be
supported automatically in mutt.
My installation: FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT ia64, mutt-devel-1.5.20_1
regards
anton
