Someone whose name I missed suggested
macro index A ":set folder=" macro
index A ":set folder="

As I understand it, all three of these solutions change what _mail folder_
I'm reading, which isn't what I want. I want to keep reading the same mail
folder (typically, though not always, my incoming-and-not-yet-read queue),
but change the _directory in which attachments are saved_.
There are work-arounds: I can press "s", erase the suggested filename, and
type in the path to the directory where I want to save it, followed by
the same filename that was suggested in the first place... but after doing
that a few dozen times in a row, it gets really old. Or I can quit mutt,
cd to the right directory, re-start mutt, and save the attachments more
easily, but I have to do that all over again for the next message whose
attachments belong in a different directory.
