Summary: allow user to change tempdir

Initial Comment:
I've got a failed archivemail run because my /tmp
partition filled up. 

Other utilities honor TMPDIR or similar env variables.
Then I can set TMPDIR to say /usr/tmp or /var/tmp and
be happy. archivemail does not use TMPDIR (I've tried),
but perhaps some other env variable?

Perhaps you could add this option? Or perhaps it's
already there but not described in the man page?

Thanks for a useful piece of software!

Fernan

archivemail *does* honor TMPDIR. 

To be precise, it should pick the first of TMPDIR, TEMP, TMP
where the user can create files in. 

This is standard Python behaviour.
