Doesn't matter. Maybe the user is editing the next Great American Novel at
the time; the point is that LO is running in the background while this
takes place.

It should wait until the 'receiving' LO process indicates that it has in fact
opened the file!

The problem is that as soon as mutt notices that the LO process it forked
has died, it feels free to delete the temporary file it created.
