This made me think of something I've been wondering, related to the
default prompts but mostly for saving emails and attachements and
such, not changing folders.

If I want to *add* something to the default prompt that
Mutt gives, how do I do that?  For example, say if I'm at a mail
message and press s for save, I get the default value of =folder.
Now, I want to save the message to a folder called =folder-foo.
How do I do this without having to type in "=folder-foo"?

The best I can think is to first press backspace, then type in the
last character again which I just erased, and then type the rest --
but this is so unintuitive that I've not managed to teach it to
myself, even though I've thought it over a few times.  There should
be some way to tell Mutt to "keep this value, don't erase it when I
start typing" -- maybe a special keypress, like escape or something.

For one, I'd be happy to just press ^U to erase the entire line, if
I wanted to start over from scratch, and not have this annoying
"smart" behaviour...
