[Linux-disciples] Saving many attachments in mutt

Someone sends me 30 file attachments to an email, which I
read in mutt. Right now my fastest way of saving all those
attachments is

1) quit out of mutt
2) go into the directory where I intend to save those files
3) reopen mutt and return to the message with all the
   attachments
4) tag all the attachments I want to save
5) type ';s' to apply the 'save' command to all tagged
   messages.

There must be a faster way. After step 5), mutt loops
through file by file and asks me where I want to save each
one. In virtue of step 2), I don't need to specify a
destination directory, but I still have to press enter 30
times to save 30 files.

Any suggestions on how to speed this up?
