Gnus Save Attachments with ido-mode

Gnus Save Attachments with ido-mode

[Esben Stien]

I don't understand how I'm able to save attachments when I have ido-mode
enabled. 

In gnus, I use "o" to open save.

If I just press enter here, it saves the attachment with the recommended
name, but if I enter f.ex ~/tmp/ and I press enter nothing happens.

Save MIME part to (default 018.jpg): ~/tmp/{./ | ../}

..no matter how many times I press RET.

If I enter a name, I'm allowed to save it. 

Any pointers as to what I can try?

Have you tried C-j? That's ido's key for using the exact content as
entered, without doing any clever completion.

What command is C-j supposed to be bound to?

I have it bound to newline-and-indent, like in bash, here.

It's supposed to be bound to ido-select-text, but obviously only when
you're actually using the ido interface. While you're selecting a file
or directory name with ido, RET will tell ido to complete based on the
input so far, while C-j will send the input so far directly to the
calling program.
