 Package: mutt
 Version: 1.3.24-2
 Severity: wishlist

 Currently, when we use "c" to change folders or "a" to add
 attachments, mutt puts us in a textmode file navigator, using which
 the folder or file are selected. Every time "c" or "a" are used, mutt
 remembers the directory where it was last, and continues from there.

 My mail folders all like in $HOME/Mail. My attachments lie all over
 the place (e.g. I often process stuff in /tmp and then send it off).
 Every time this happens, I painfully go from /tmp to $HOME/Mail and
 vice versa, to flip between doing attachments or doing folders.

 I think my usage is fairly typical in these regards. Hence my wishlist
 for new features is:

 Wishlist 1:
         When doing "a" or "c" it should be possible to just type
         in a directory and get him to jump there. E.g. it's only
         five keystrokes "/tmp<Enter>" to say I want to deal with
         /tmp. Currently I am forced to act like a Windows Moron (WM)
         and painfully navigate manually. Similarly, it should possible
         to type in ~/Mail and then continue from there using the file
         navigator.

 Wishlist 2:
         mutt should remember the directory where it was for "a",
                 and track that separately.

         mutt should remember the directory where it was for "c",
                 and track that separately.

         There should not be only one directory remembered for file
 navigati=
 on,
         but two. This way, my "c" would all endup being in
         $HOME/Mail. For "a" I would wander all over the place, but
         that's okay.

 Thanks,

         -ans.
