saving attachment to directory



Sometimes I'll be sent an attachment or two that I'll detach from the
email by hitting v, and then s to save it to whatever directory mutt was
started up from.  Usually, by pure chance, that default directory will
not be the directory that I'd like to save the file in.  

So to get it to the desired directory, I use my arrow keys to get to the
start of the filename, and then type in the directory path.  Works well,
but .... I'm lazy and am always looking to save keystrokes.  :-)

Generally I always save attachments to the same directory.  So the easy
answer is to simply always start mutt up from that directory.  That
works and is what I do now.

But it raises the question:  is there a variable setting where I can
set the default save-attachment directory?  I suspect not as I searched
the mutt manual pretty well.

So if not, is there a way to achieve this easily with hooks?

And finally, does this seem like something that might be appropriate to
put on a wish list?

Thanks
Kevin
