Try "../<tab>"; that works for me. More generally speaking, pressing tab twice in any "minibuffer" /should/ give you a browsable list, at least when there is more than one possible completion to that file name. Pressing enter means you want to attach the file as it is currently displayed in the minibuffer, which fails if it doesn't exist or if it is a directory. > > or "?" and select ".." to go up. > > That's precisely what I can't do -- select "..". As you said yourself > above, when I select "..", it tells me: > > Unable to attach /home/nori/Mail/..! When I press `?' the sign for parent directory isn't `..' but `../'. If in your case the slash isn't appended that might be a clue. If all else fails, paste the correct file name into mutt from another shell or program. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: keyserver.net ID 0x1735C5C2 "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill
