By default, mutt proposes a filename derived from the sender's
address. You can override this by specifying a save-hook.

Use 'sort' instead of 'sort-browser'.

You didn't say what "doesn't work" means, but my guess is that the
termcap or terminfo data being used by mutt to determine the
character sequence to send for <F5> is missing or not correct for
the terminal you are using. Check that your $TERM environment
variable is correct. Then execute
infocmp -1 | grep kf5
to see what character sequence, if any, is defined for <F5>. ("-1"
is "minus one", not "minus ell".)
