Guess thats the difference, 's' gets you...
'Save to address book or Export to filesystem ?'
...and I get...
'Copy attachment to file in /home/username/work directory:'

I probably need to get with the sysop, Im not on the UW system, and maybe 
need to set up some global defaults or something.
Thanks again for the help.
Let me know if you have any other ideas.
Alan

Ok, I tried to get the message that you mention and this is the only way I
could.

Press V to "view" the attachemt. You get a message like this:

1    5 lines   Text/PLAIN

If I put the cursor on the first line (the one that says text/PLAIN) and I
press "S" i get the message:

SAVE: Copy attachment to file in current directory: 

This is not what you want. Instead put the cursor on the second line (the
one that says Text/DIRECTORY). In that case I get:

Press "S" and answer the questions that pine will ask you from that
moment on.

 I hope this solves your problem.
