Package: mutt
Version: 1.3.24-2
Severity: wishlist

Currently, when we use "c" to change folders or "a" to add
attachments, mutt puts us in a textmode file navigator, using which
the folder or file are selected. Every time "c" or "a" are used, mutt
remembers the directory where it was last, and continues from there.

My mail folders all like in $HOME/Mail. My attachments lie all over
the place (e.g. I often process stuff in /tmp and then send it off).
Every time this happens, I painfully go from /tmp to $HOME/Mail and
vice versa, to flip between doing attachments or doing folders.

I think my usage is fairly typical in these regards. Hence my wishlist
for new features is:

Wishlist 1:
        When doing "a" or "c" it should be possible to just type
        in a directory and get him to jump there. E.g. it's only
        five keystrokes "/tmp<Enter>" to say I want to deal with
        /tmp. Currently I am forced to act like a Windows Moron (WM)
        and painfully navigate manually. Similarly, it should possible
        to type in ~/Mail and then continue from there using the file
        navigator.

Wishlist 2:
        mutt should remember the directory where it was for "a",
                and track that separately.

        mutt should remember the directory where it was for "c",
                and track that separately.

        There should not be only one directory remembered for file navigation,
        but two. This way, my "c" would all endup being in
        $HOME/Mail. For "a" I would wander all over the place, but
        that's okay.

Thanks,

        -ans.
