Or you can just eliminate the space in your macro.  Either of these will
work:

    macro index S ";srighthere.mbox" "Save to this here mailbox"
    macro index S ";<save-message>righthere.mbox" "Save to this here mailbox"

I don't know why the space does that, but it's nice to know that it
does.  I'll be using that feature a lot from now on.  I had been
appending to the suggested mailbox name by first backspacing over the
last character, then replacing it.
