5. try to use <tag-prefix> (by default with ;)

How often does this happen?

Hi @mruwek, sorry you're having trouble.
I can't seem to repeat the problem, using that exact version.

I tagged a few attachments ttt, then:

• marked them for deletion ;d
• saved them ;s
• undeleted them ;u
• untagged them ;t

All the actions worked correctly.

Could you try running NeoMutt without any config, to see if you still see the same thing.
Locally save an email with attachments, then:

neomutt -n -F /dev/null -f test.mbox

Thanks

There you are. 2 movies. First one starring neomutt compiled against 2a9b54b and second one against e4f3b93 (one commit before). Screenplay is the same in both episodes:

1. start neomutt with arguments from your instruction
2. test <tag-prefix> in index
3. open message
4. open attach menu
5. test <tag-prefix> in attach menu
6. show neomutt -v output

Hi

I have a more general problem with tag-prefix. It first works then stop after some previous use.

I haven't yet narrowed the problem but could be related to an archive/delete macro.

@flatcap I tried different terminals (Gnome-Terminal, Mate terminal) and different shells (ZSH and BASH). I tried even Cygwin (neomutt version: 20240323) and still no positive results.

Any thoughts?

Small update – I recall that there was a bug some time ago that <set-flag> worked but didn't produce the usual help message ("Set flag? (D/N/O/r/*/!):"). I've just checked that it is the same story – it works just fine, but it doesn't show the usual tag- message at the bottom bar.
