Temporary file gets deleted too soon? #100

I often find myself opening certain HTML emails in the browser, with "xdg-open&". I noticed that there is some delay (around a second) before the browser tab actually gets opened. (Only for these emails, for some reason) When this happens, bower has usually already deleted the temporary file by the time xdg-open has identified the file and forwarded it to the browser.

Obviously, the real bug here is that "xdg-open" takes too long on these files, for unknown reasons. But I think it's still bad UX from the side of bower for me to have to wait for the attachment to finish opening at all, before I can press away the message.

I think it would be better for bower to keep them around, either for a set amount of time, or until program exit. (I don't usually keep my mail client open when I'm not expecting mail, personally)
