This script wouldn't work for me until I edited muttsaveattach.sh by removing $ from line 3. After this edit it works perfectly.

Add the
.muttrcline to, well, your.muttrc. Then pressing "S" in the attachment menu will bring up a ranger instance. In ranger, navigate to the directory where you want to save your file and:touch <nameoftheattachment>, select the file you've just touched, press enter and mutt will save the attachment to that file.
