There's one problem: If you exit ranger without a selection the "Attach: "
string is inserted
nevertheless. This is the reason why I changed it finally to this version:
| " mutt: insert attachment with ranger
| fun! RangerMuttAttach()
| if filereadable('/tmp/chosendir')
| silent !ranger --choosefiles=/tmp/chosenfiles
--choosedir=/tmp/chosendir "$(cat /tmp/chosendir)"
| else
| silent !ranger --choosefiles=/tmp/chosenfiles
--choosedir=/tmp/chosendir
| endif
| if filereadable('/tmp/chosenfiles')
| call system('sed "s/\(.*\)/Attach: \1/" /tmp/chosenfiles >
/tmp/muttattach')
| exec 'read /tmp/muttattach'
| call system('rm /tmp/chosenfiles /tmp/muttattach')
| endif
| redraw!
| endfun
| map <C-a> magg/Reply-To<CR><ESC>:call RangerMuttAttach()<CR>`a
Notice that there is a new option --choosefiles (plural).
This is in the newest git version of ranger and returns all the selected files.
You need a
version not older than this to use the --choosefiles option.
The additional lines I have added let ranger remember the last active directory.

I'm very sorry I cannot understand. Can you explain in more detail what's going
wrong?
