 Subject: failed attachment saving hides error message
 Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 14:51:37 +0100

 Package: mutt
 Version: 1.5.6-20040907+2
 Severity: normal

 To reproduce:
  0) start mutt as non-root
  1) go to view-attachments for any message (v)
  2) save-entry (s)
  3) type: /foo and press enter

 Now nothing seems to have changed, as if you didn't press enter at all!
 Actually I guess the error message is somehow "hidden" by the
 immediately repeated prompt, and appears if you

  4) press CTRL-G now

 This behaviour is somewhat confusing. Moreover, together with gnome
 mailcheck applet bug, which starts mutt in root directory, instead of
 $HOME, can make it impossible for a novice user to save attachments.

 Marcin

 PS: I have already reported a bug against gnome-applets, but this one
 needs fixing nonetheless.
