Hi

it would be really nice if it were possible to remove an attachment from a message without deleting the message itself. Being able to do this for a whole directory would even be nicer. I know this has been brought up and closed a few times, let me explain why I think it is important:
The reason for needing this is that even a casual user like myself generates about 250 MB e-mail per year. I also like to keep all my old e-mail to have it searchable. 
You might say, disk space is cheap, this does not matter. However, if you do backups on CD, your home directory has to be less than ~1 GB. This is hardly possible if you already have 700 MB e-mail, 650 MB of which is duplicate data (you usually save the attachment elsewhere if it is of any importance at all). Storing attachments with the e-mails is especially unnecessary in the sent-mail folder as these are always  duplicates. Attachments are not searchable and viewing the files from the filesystem is a lot easier. I see no need to keep them.
Moving every message to the drafts folder, editing it there to remove the message and then moving the message where you really want it is not practical.

Thanks

Sebastian
