 There is, and you get to it the same way, by hitting TAB.

But the browser you get when saving attachments requires deletion
of the original filename first and (more important) does not allow to 
save it as a new file on disk, which is probably what most people 
want. Or am I missing something?

hi,

I would like to default save all my attachments to a folder. ie when pressed 
's', it will be saved to the default folder as specified by user. I hate mixing my 
files on my root directory with my attachments.

1. Dont check / send emails as root.  su to root only for admin work
2. Call mutt from within some folder (say ~/attach).  Mutt can be
called from a shell script which says

cd attach
mutt

Mutt saves things by default to the current directory
