I do something very similar using a folder-hook to save attachments in a specific directory by default when in a particular mailbox. This should replicate the default behavior but prepend ./ to the file name when saving: macro attach s "./" But I agree, this is something that should be done automatically when the attachment file name begins with a character that has a special meaning in mutt-speak. -- Michael Kjörling ..
