This works for me.
macro index S '<enter-command>set my_folder=`mutt-prompt "Save to folder" \\`;
push <refresh><save-message>$my_folder\<enter\><sync-mailbox><enter>'
Be sure to enter it in only one line. The backslashes are wacky, but so
are mutt's quoting rules. This is no typo; it really does work on my
system.
A "mutt-prompt" script is required; see attachment.
