I'm now realizing that my problem with html parts is probably that
browser is attempting to open the temporary file in the background.
When the browser call returns, the caller assumes the application is
done with the temp file and purges it.  So for this issue at least I
need to either convince my browser to not open the file in the
background, or tell emacs to cleanup temp files at some later time
(session termination, for instance).

jamie.
