OK, yes. But I would like the default directory to be configurable so that
I don't have to do that every time I save an attachment. I don't want to
clutter ~/ any more than I have to, and I have a separate location for
random files I'm looking at at the moment. Having to type the same path in
manually every time is rather annoying.

I don't know about your version of pine, but at least the one I'm using
at the moment (4.58) saves into it's current save directory by default,
which means that without changing it e.g. by using the file browser,
it saves to the directory where I started pine.

I'm using pine 4.58 on netbsd, and I don't get the behavior you describe.
I ran pine with a cwd of /tmp/foo and saved an attachment to the default
location. It ended up in ~/ not in /tmp/foo.

In fact, if I use ^T to navigate to /tmp/foo while saving attachment A and
then save attachment B to the default, A ends up in /tmp/foo while B ends
up in ~/. (So there isn't even save directory persistence. It always goes
back to ~/ )

Is there some compile-time flag or configuration option that could be
causing the different behavior you describe?
