Attempting to use the menu command in Evolution to view a MSWord .doc
file in mswordview gives the following pop-up Alerts
Could not create temporary file
'/var/tmp/evolution-11306-13422/evolution.wz4POg/Linux.doc':Success
And underneath that alert:
Error while 'Saving attachment':
Cannot create output file: /var/tmp/evolution-11306-13422/evolution.wz4POg/Linux.doc:
Permission Denied.
It also fails for any other action in the menu such as StarOffice or Applix.

Supplementary info:
tokata.mit.edu% ls -ld /var/tmp
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 Jun 18 15:02 /var/tmp
/var/tmp is readable and so apparently is:
drwx------ 3 wdc mit 4096 Jun 18 15:02 evolution-11306-13422
Unless evolution is not running as me?
-wdc
