Actually, mutt is cute about this. If I'm reading
=Lists/mutt-users [aka /home/nollaig/mail/Lists/mutt-users]
and do
:set folder=~/tmp
mutt continues to show me =Lists/mutt-users, and typing
"c" then "?" gets me a listing of my mailboxes, all of
which are in ~/mail; but when I save a message from
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" the default filename offered is
/home/nollaig/tmp/foo
Mind you, Mikko's suggestion is the best, if the
patch he mentions is not just a Corrs-induced
figment of his imagination....
Cheers, N.
that's Corrs, not Coors
