Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 2920

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, enhancement)

Often I recieve or send messages with large attachments. I want to keep the
message text for my records but don't want to keep the attachment. If "remove
attachment" could be added to the context menu on message this would help
greatly in reducing disk space consumption. 

Note: I can sort of do this now by moving the message into the drafts folder,
editing the message and deleteing the attachment, then moving back to the folder
I want it in. This has a problem with messing up the header.
