As I mentioned in my original mail, this has become a pain for me - a real pain - I want to be always in my ~ dir. Default save from mutt must be in ~ and when I want to read something into a mail edit session or add an attachment, 9+ times out of 10 the file is in my ~ dir. So I had enough and changed this function: u() { if [ $1 ] then mutt $@ else cd #/data/Mail ^^^^^^^^^^^ mutt cd - fi } Changing and navigating folders is one of the most fundamental functions of a MUA so something that makes this more convenient by obviating a silly keypress each time can IMO, hardly be regarded as adding a kitchen sink. (The reading and attaching problem, may be fixed if with the set editor command you could cd to another dir before launching your editor). -- Eric Smith
