I get similar error when trying to open text/enriched emails.
mutt creates a temprorary file under /tmp until it fills the
partition, then I get

	/tmp: write failed, filesystem is full

If I'm able to exit mutt normally, the file is deleted automatically.
If I kill mutt process I can see huge mutt-<something> file under /tmp.

I reported this in 

http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2009-09/msg00502.html

I think this must be a bug since text/enriched is supposed to be
supported automatically in mutt.

My installation: FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT ia64, mutt-devel-1.5.20_1

regards
anton
