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?)
Sven [who will add this macro to the setup page]
