I wrote that macro with the index as the starting point in mind. But you describe it perfectly. :) Drop that btw. That was a leftover from testing. > I actually wonder if the two macros could share some more code. That > is, can the attach macro call the first macro? One, if I'm not mistaken - the only way, to call a macro within a macro is to push it's key sequence. The downside here is that you need two different keys then. Besides I find it harder to read and debug. So you could try something like: macro index,pager ,X ... macro attach X ' push ,X' HTH, Michael -- PGP-Key-ID: EEE7D043 Jabber: in...@jabber.de

Hello Marcelo, from my naive understanding (so I could be wrong), the difference is just that you can use the second macro in the attach menu. The reason it is different is that it needs to exit, the attach menu (back to pager menu?), then do the real work, then go back to attach menu. I actually wonder if the two macros could share some more code. That is, can the attach macro call the first macro? Kind regards, Xu

Re: Saving all attachments
FWIW, I ended up with these two macros: # extract all attachments macro index,pager X ' set my_wk=$wait_key; unset wait_key\ ripmime --paranoid -i - -d ~/tmp/attachments\ set wait_key=$my_wk' "save all attachments" macro attach X ' set my_wk=$wait_key; unset wait_key\ ripmime --paranoid -i - -d ~/tmp/attachments\ set wait_key=$my_wk\ ' "save all attachments" Michael -- PGP-Key-ID: EEE7D043 Jabber: in...@jabber.de

Hello, this is a little different from what you are asking but it has the same result with less work. Have you tried ripmime? It is software designed to work with mutt and it can automatically save all attachments to a folder with minimal work. I have this in my .muttrc: macro index,pager X "ripmime -i - -d " when I press X, ripmime asks for a directory and then puts all the attachments there. No need to select any attachments or confirm the saving (but you have to "press any key to continue" after it finishes).
