Could you not build a wee macro for this?  I did some cursory looking,
but I didn't find a $mutt_working_directory configuration option, but,
assuming there is one and I missed it, could you not just make a
directory (by prompt would be best, but I'd take something like
~/mutt_temp), set the $mutt_working_directory to that directory, save
the whole wodge, and then reset the $mutt_working_directory?

I'd certainly use such a macro if I knew how to write it.
