Thanks Kevin (I can always depend on you :-) and those patches most
certainly fix the problem (it's odd that they aren't already in
VM-7.19 -- I hope Kyle is keeping track of these and other fixes).

In passing, is it possible to remove whatever files are opened via
this external spawning so that my attachments are not available for
others to know about ?  In other words, I get a PDF with a rather
descriptive filename, VM spawns the application for me to view the
PDF (thanks to those patches :-) yet when I'm done and I close the
application the PDF files (or any other attachment) are still there
in /tmp (is there a means to automatically delete them after I close
the application ?).  Come to think of it, it would also be wise to
let the user pick a different directory so that even while he/she are
viewing the attachment no one can snoop around for info.

Thanks again.
