228858 - Can not remove an attached file from a received mail.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 2920

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[André]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686) Opera 7.23  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031207)

When a mail is received that has files attached, sometimes it is good to be able to keep the mail text 
(maybe e.g. a back-and-forth conversation) but remove the possibly large attached files, possibly for 
storage or other reason.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a mail, with an attached file to yourself.
2. Open the mail when it arrives.
3. There is no way to remove the attached file, without removing the mail itself.

Actual Results:  
Pressing the 'delete' key delets the whole mail, which is not always desirable.

Expected Results:  
There might be an option in the attached files popup menu ('Open', 'Save...', etc.) that removes the 
attached file, e.g. 'Delete' or 'Remove'.
