If we assume you're using a mail or news-posting program that
calls Emacs to compose a message file in /tmp, this question
suddenly makes much more sense.

Put this in your .emacs file:

(setq find-file-hooks (cons 'if-/tmp-goto-cwd find-file-hooks))
(setq find-file-not-found-hooks
      (cons 'if-/tmp-goto-cwd find-file-not-found-hooks))

(defun if-/tmp-goto-cwd ()
  (if (string-match "^/tmp" buffer-file-name)
      (setq default-directory
	    (save-excursion (set-buffer "*scratch*")
			    default-directory )))
  nil )
