[imp] Attachment woes..

[Jason Keltz]

Hi Jeff.

I tried to document the reason for this in a previous message, but I don't
think I did a very good job because I didn't get any response.

The problem is that you can set your "upload_tmp_dir" in php.ini (which
defaults to /tmp if you do not set anything) to anything you want --- so
long as its "/var/tmp"!  In other words, (and someone *please* correct me
if I'm wrong here), no matter you set "upload_tmp_dir" to, it seems to me
that the file is first written to "/var/tmp", and then IMP tries to open
it in the proper location.  If "upload_tmp_dir" is not set, this means
that the attachment is first written to "/var/tmp", and then IMP tries to
open it from "/tmp".  If you set "upload_tmp_dir" to "/var/tmp", this will
fix the problem, but a more general fix (and understanding of the problem)
is required.

Jason.
