oh, my, this *is* a faq by now... and the answer is: "use a macro!" macro attach S <save-message><bol>/path this makes the cursor jump to the "beginning-of-line" ("bol") at the prompt for the filename, thus adding the "/path" before the filename (if there is one). when you to to the attachments menu with "view-attachments" ('v') then you can tag-entry ('t') all the parts you want to save and then use the tag-prefix (';') command before you use save-entry ('s'); mutt will prompt you before saving each "entry" (attachment/file/part), and the macro will add the selected path automatically. drawback: the /path is *fixed* in the macro. workaround: maybe use $DIR_ATTACH in the macro.. wish: add an option to set the favourite directory for saving attachments in. (fefe - can you please add this to the faq?)
