Severity: enhancement
Version: GNOME2.8.0 2.0.4

Synopsis: A method to remove attachments from the stored (received/sent) e-letters.
Bugzilla-Product: evolution
Bugzilla-Component: evolution
Bugzilla-Version: 2.0.4
Description:
Please describe your feature request:
I used to use mutt before alot, and it had this very good feature to
remove attachments separately from the stored emails. Now in Evolution I
miss this feature. It is no point to have MIME-encoded attachments in
the sent-folder, as the same files usually are already in the local hard
drive (for example photos). Sometimes the attachments can be really big
and wastes space when being duplicated maybe many times in the local
machine.

So a feature to remove attachments from email bodies is requested.

Unknown version 2.0.4 in product general.  Setting version to "unspecified".

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

Note: Deleting attachments of received emails alters the document/message, and
therefore is not the sent document any longer. This violates the respecive RFC
(standard). This has been discussed pretty often, and there are a couple of
different reasons, why this should not be supported. Sorry.

(Supporting this for the users own sent mails is not an option UI wise, and alters the saved document as well.)


Either way, duplicate of bug 205927.
