Save all attachments to directory and view in dired

[Ben Maughan]

Hi all,

This was posted on Reddit recently but in case you didn't see it, it's some useful code (not by me) to extract all attachments to a directory whose name is automatically generated from the email subject, and then view the directory in dired.

Thanks a lot for the pointer Ben! As always, useful and to the point. :)

I added it to my init file, called it with "M-x view-attachments-dired"
and worked perfectly. :)

Wouldn't it be useful to add it to the message actions?

BTW, if anyone has a good source of mu4e's info (apart from this great list, of
course), please do post it so we can all check it.

Best...
