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).
