Because mutt sucks in this particular sence I made a patch
which is kind of ``works for me''. It's attached.

How it works: It prepends the value of $attach_dir _before_
prompting so that one can change it from case to case.

oh, my, this *is* a faq by now...
and the answer is:  "use a macro!"

  macro attach S /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]

Currently, mutt asks per file where and under what name this file has
to be saved. IM(H)O these are not prompts you want to skip.

Change dir to the destination folder and fire mutt from there...

saving several attachments in a specified directory

2002-10-09 Thread jochen issing 

Hi List,

I recently received a message with a huge number of pictures attached.
Now I want to store all these (or tagged ones) pics in a specified
folder. Can anybody tell me how to do this? Perhaps a sample?

I am just able to store the files in my home dir (default...)

Thanks,

jochen
