You can customize Mew's tempdir without your patch, like this:

(setq mew-temp-file-initial "/home/davep/mewtmp/tmp")

Take care that you don't use subdirectory in "/tmp" in the
mew-temp-file-initial variable.  Mew doesn't check the parent
directory of Mew's tmpdir.  For example, (setq
mew-temp-file-initial "/tmp/davep-mew/tmp") is unsafe setting,
because "/tmp/davep-mew" can be seized by another user.

I recommend that you use your home directory if you want to
change the mew-temp-file-initial variable.
