 Hi, there!

 When attaching a file the filename completion does not work as expected.
 I think this s a bug, because it would be a strange feature. ;-)

 Assume, I want to attach the file "foo/bar". I press "a" for "attach",
 then type "f", TAB, TAB, TAB to see the file list in the "foo/"
 directory.  TAB again to get the message "Attatch file: foo/" in the
 last line of mutt.  The cursor is after the "/".  When typing "b" for
 "bar" (i don't want to select with the cursor in the large list), the
 "b" *replaces* the "foo/", and is not appended to this (what I would
 expect).
