Expected Behaviour

By default, folder should be equal to ~/Mail, i.e. a directory Mail in the user's home directory.

Actual Behaviour

folder now is equal to the directory ~/Mail starting at the user's current directory.

Steps to Reproduce

Do not set folder in .muttrc

How often does this happen?

  • Always

When did it start to happen?

  • When I upgraded
    Which version did you use to use?

6112fb2 (#2137)

Extra Info

  • My email is local and synced using mbsync (isync)

For the moment, a fix is to add the following line to .muttrc:

set folder = ~/Mail

which in theory just sets the same value as the default value, but this time, the tilde actually gets expanded.

Config variables that contain filesystem paths, should have `~` expanded
before saving.  For `DT_PATH`, this is done automatically.

Restore `reset_tilde()` so that `DT_MAILBOX` get their initial values correct.
