 Hi there,

 I have severe problems when trying to work with
 deep directory structures. Main problem is when
 saving attachments. I can hardly navigate to a
 specfic directory from within mutt:

 1.) Whats the point of the chdir dialog?

 v (view attachment)
 s (save to file)
 starting to enter directory name
 use tab twice to open chdir dialog
 i can navigate directorys
 y goes back to the point where i pressed tab twice

 when trying to make a bugreport for this
 i found something even worse:

 2.) I can crash mutt with chdir dialog

 v (view attachment)
 s (save to file)
 starting to enter directory name
 use tab twice to open chdir dialog
 navigate to a directory
 c (shows current directory)
 enter (dialog line disappears)
 enter (screen goes blank)
 enter (segfault)
