Re: attachments when using IMAP
My god, a flurry of self-replies. Sorry about the noise. Won't happen
again.

This doesn't seem to make any difference to the use of "a?" in the
compose menu, though -- I still get presented with a list of IMAP
folders.
Not any more I don't. Weird. I'm not sure what I changed, but it works
now. Thanks to all concerned for your help.

attachments when using IMAP
I have folder and spooldir set to an IMAP-type path, since I don't keep
any mail locally. This works very nicely (mmm, 1.2.4i good) except that
if I try to add a local attachment to a message I'm composing, mutt
looks for the file on the IMAP server rather than looking on the local
filesystem.
This kind of sucks :)
Am I doing something stupid? Or is this really a problem?
Build is stock 1.2.4i with --with-imap on OpenBSD 2.7/i386; muttrc
below.

Yeah. That's expected behavior. If you specify an absolute path, it looks for it locally. Ie: ~/downloads/mutt.5.0.tgz will grab it from you local system rather than the remote server.

Perhaps you could change your $folder variable if you want to send an
attachment.

I never keep mail locally. I read mail from the imap server from about
a hundred different places, and I need to keep everything central.
Anything stored locally is effectively lost :)

Aaah, I see. So here's the thing:

Sorry about the noise. It's just that this is the only thing stopping
me discarding the bloated walrus of pine, so I'm keen to get it working.

Re: Attachments when using IMAP
Sounds like a problem with the browser... However, typing in a local directory and pressing tab twice should help.

Re: Attachments when using IMAP
You should be able to get into your local home directory by starting your attachment name with "~/". This is what I regularly do. I think this happens when you set $folder to a remote path - we don't currently have split remote/local current directories, just "current directory". Maybe we should just start out in local cwd (I hadn't worried about it). In that case we probably just need a minor tweak in mutt_enter_string or mutt_complete - I can take a look...

I use mutt 1.1.9i at work to connect via IMAP to a server at home. If I attempt to attach a file, it only finds files on the IMAP server instead of in my home directory on the machine from which I am running mutt. So, I usually end up scp-ing the file over to my mail server and attaching it to the message from there. Did I screw something up or did I find a bug?
