Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding. Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. I made the feature request for KMail (1, 2, ...) as a whole, and at the time was 'using' kmail1, though I would say, if the feature is not in kmail2, it is still a valid request. I personally have not yet migrated to kmail2, so I cannot comfirm if kmail2 has something similar; howerver, I don't think this makes the detachment idea any less pertinent. Does akonadi provide this, though I thought it was just a search cache of sorts. The detachments idea will free up space as documents (and media files) are saved out into directories (reducing backup overhead). I understand the pitfalls of moving a linked document, or editing so the email links to a newer 'version'. But this is an advanced user feature. I have had some success with filters, but having the file link in the email needs to be understood by kmail to make it fully functional. Cheers - H PS. So a Resolved wishlist item means?

Thanks for the feedback > PS. So a Resolved wishlist item means? It depends on the resolution; it was an attempt to cleanup to old wishlists, reassigning them if needed. I also would like to have this feature. We can start with just detaching attachments and putting a sentence showing where we detached it. I can confirm that I see no way to remove an attachment from a mail in KMail 5.2.1 from KDEPIM 16.04. Yet according to the FAQ there should be one: > 6.20. How can I remove attachments from messages without removing the message itself? > >Open the context menu with a right mouse button click on an attachment and select Delete Attachment https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kdepim/kmail/faq.html#idp54668976 I don´t see this context menu entry when right clicking an attachment. I´d like to have this feature in order to remove spam mails I attached to an abuse report. I like to keep the abuse report for reference, but not the spam mail. As a work-around I can just view source of mail and copy / paste only headers. Almost another year forward, in KMail 5.5.1, when I right-click on an attachment, the last entry in the context menu is "Delete attachment" (my translation from German). |
