Or you can just eliminate the space in your macro. Either of these will
work:
macro index S ";srighthere.mbox" "Save to this here mailbox"
macro index S ";<save-message>righthere.mbox" "Save to this here mailbox"
I don't know why the space does that, but it's nice to know that it
does. I'll be using that feature a lot from now on. I had been
appending to the suggested mailbox name by first backspacing over the
last character, then replacing it.
