I just tried:- macro attach S save-entrybol~/tmp/enter Save to ~/tmp and it sort of works but it's a bit laborious because you have to accept the directory to save to and then enter the file name to save to. However simply changing it to:- macro attach S save-entrybol~/tmp/eol Save to ~/tmp does exactly what I want, it offers to save the file with the existing attachment filename in ~/tmp, just hit CR and it's saved. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. -- Chris Green

By default mutt saves attachments in the current directory (i.e. in the directory in which it was started). In my case this is often somewhere completely random and most definitely isn't where I want to save attachments. Apart from being careful about the dreictory from which I start mutt is there any way to force it to always save attachments to the same place (for example ~/tmp)? -- Chris Green

Chris, You could always alias mutt to be the following: cd ~/tmp ; mutt I know that's a hackish work around but it's a quick fix. -Troy * Chris G c...@isbd.net: By default mutt saves attachments in the current directory (i.e. in the directory in which it was started).
