attachments

In notmuch’s show mode, you can save attachments with the built-in keybinding:

  • w on an attachment part — runs notmuch-show-save-part, which prompts you for a download location and saves the attachment.

You can also press . on any MIME part to get a menu of actions (view, save, pipe, etc.).
