Hi Kevin, > <pipe-message> isn't defined in the attachment menu, only <pipe-entry> is. Oh I see. That's a little confusing. :-)
For now, I helped myself by adding "<exit>" to the macro when in the attach menu. macro attach V "\ <exit>\ <enter-command>set my_old_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode my_old_pipe_split=\$pipe_split my_old_wait_key=\$wait_key nopipe_decode pipe_split wait_key<enter>\ <pipe-message>mail-open-attachments<enter>\ <enter-command>set pipe_decode=\$my_old_pipe_decode pipe_split=\$my_old_pipe_split wait_key=\$my_old_wait_key<enter>" \ "extract attachments to temp dir and open shell there" Thanks for the explanation!
