Details
User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 I would like to switch from Outlook to Mozilla/Thunderbird Mail. However, at the moment I can't because I need an important feature that Outlooks offers: deleting attachents of received (or sent) email messages without deleting the message itself. In our company we receive huge amounts of mail with big attachments. Recently, the Outlook-Box of my colleague crashed at the 2 Gigabyte limit. In the business enviroment you can't convince all your partners to use FTP instead. I always save the attachments and delete it from the mail, so mailbox size is not much more than 100MB. The mail texts I usually want to keep, because they often contain interesting facts. So, at the moment I can't use the Mozilla mail this way - keeping the mailbox free from attachments and leaving mail texts in the folder. That's an important feature. Work-arounds like saving the mail texts to individual files etc. are not comfortable. It should be as easy as in Outlook with just a few mouse-clicks. So I have to use Outlook until this feature is offered by Mozilla/Thunderbird. Please think about it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reveive email message with attachment 2 [details] [diff] [review]. try to remove the attachment Actual Results: not possible Expected Results: offer a context menu entry to delete attachment
