I'm no mutt guru, but I've learned that Mutt's Fine Manual is
extremely accurate in its description of actions and what have you,
but terse terse and terse:)

So it's a *default*, that makes me guess mutt only fills in a likely
answer to its save prompt and that there is noway to cicumvent the
question.

And this again works exactly as advertised, it controls that second
question you can get:) The first question is only about the name of
the file, the second question is whether it should append or not (in
case you wanted it to be written to a file all by itself:)

There is an other second question you can get saving and that one is
controlled with the telling name "confirmcreate".
