Vikas you wrote a patch for me - unless I am getting this wrong, the
mentioned patch actually saves attachments to a location by correctly
interpreting the `~' symbol. My mutt compiled with these patches does it.
I even think one of the patches allows the save attachment to interpret
defined shell variables like $mydir. Patches like this should become part
of the standard codebase - then I would upgrade more frequesntly.
