save all tagged attachments to the same directory



Hi!

does anyone know how to make mutt save all tagged
attachments at once, without prompting for anything?

Right now mutt prompts for the path and/or filename to save
the first, second, third, ... attachments.

If I set attach_split=no, mutt will concatenate all
attachments into a single file, which is not what I want.

Also, there is a FAQ entry for this issue here
http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Attachment
but the answer suggests exiting mutt, changing the current
directory, opening mutt and then saving all attachments
there. This doesn't solve the issue, as mutt will ask the
filename for each tagged attachment anyway ... and also,
it's a pain to quit mutt, cd, reenter mutt.

Seems like this issue has been discussed in the past. This
thread from September 2003, though incomplete, mentions a
patch, but I've been unable to find the rest of the thread
and/or the patch
http://does-not-exist.org/mail-archives/mutt-dev/threads.html#00007
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mutt.devel/3772

Anyone knows about the fate of this patch? Or how to do what
I want to do :) ?

Thanks in advance,

Fernan
