In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Thu Aug 11 1994 on fox (i386-unix-freebsd)

Synopsis:

  Some application concerning the environment variable TMPDIR does
  not work properly when it does not contain the trailing slash.

Description:

  I have installed metamail 2.7 on my FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 and got it
  finally working with emacs-19.25.  However, I had to change the
  definition of the environment variable TMPDIR from "~/tmp" to
  "~/tmp/" after observing a series of complaint "~/tmp is a
  directory" from emacs.

If someone out there insists it's a feature, I *need to change it.*
The question is how.  Thanks in advance.
