Add "Remove attachment" option
Last modified: 2010-04-29 21:57:18 UTC
Hello! It will be is usefull to add an option to allow remove an attachment without remove the mail itself. The attachment is converted to a "<name of attachment file> removed" entry. KMail and Thunderbird have this option and is very usefull for professionals who receive lot of mails with attachments that must be proccessed (once you process one, is no longer needed) but you can safely store a copy of the original mail for future reference. Example: 1 - A client send me a file (5MB) 2 - I store the file into the folder (on hard disk) related with the project we are working 3 - I delete the attachment (cause I not need it anymore in the mail) 4 - I save the mail (moving it to a evolution folder) for future reference. 5 - Two months later, Client calls me asking about the project. 6 - I can search the mail, and I can see the mail was an attachment. 7 - I can search te attachment on the project folder. Thank you for you efforts and nice work. Salu2 de jEsuSdA 8)
