I want to archive mails without attachments, that I have saved to my file system
(or that are attached from my file system, if it is a sent mail). If I archive
all mails with large attachments my mailbox grows rapidly. I want a context menu
function to remove an attachment from the mail. (I do this by hand editing the
mail source in the mailbox file by now, but that is very uncomfortable.) Maybe a
note in the changed mail like "[attachment(s) removed]" might be usefull.
