Gotcha. And that makes sense.

Right. And I've seen you go through that already :-)

I was thinking that you could find your message as you usually do, say
"Hmmm, time to save that one locally", and execute your macro to change
your folder. You probably wouldn't even have to exit the pager to do it;
just press \Cfl to change your folder to local, save (maybe even make the
save keypress part of the macro), and then \Cfi to change your folder
back to imap.

Of course, if this is true (I mean, if the behavior is meant to be this
way or it is for some reason stuck this way at your site; I don't doubt
what you say), then it sorta knocks the whole idea out of kilter, no? :-(
