Detaching email attachments from email

[Martin Duclos]

I believe I may have been the one to ask where I could find this feature. I 
ended up writing a perl script to do just that. I find it much simpler to 
scan through a directory for a document rather than scanning through 
hundreds of e-mails with unrelated subject lines...

In an earlier thread someone asked about removing an attachment from an 
email.

Well Thunderbird 1.5 appears capable of doing this if the email is in a 
local folder.

I've used this feature in Mac OS X, but presumably in Linux it would be 
right-click on the attachment name and click detach or delete.

Warning, when I tried to delete nested forwards Thunderbird crashed.

It pretends to work on messages stored on an imap server.

Where it did work it left a stub showing Deleted: AttachmentName.
