[mew-int 2275] stunnel and cwd

Hi,

I've got a problem with Mew (5.2) using stunnel. When Emacs starts the stunnel
process, the current working directory is set to a directory under
mew-mail-path (~/Mail). In my setup ~/Mail is a symbolic link to a USB-stick
and now I can't plug off the stick temporarily, when Emacs (with Mew) is
running.

Can anybody tell me, how to patch mew-ssl.el so that stunnel is started with a
different working directory (like my home directory)?

You can see the current working directory of stunnel for yourself by typing
(on a Linux console): lsof | grep stunnel (the line with cwd).

Thanks for your assistance

Bernhard
