271352 - missing feature: I would like to be able to delete attachments in my mail folders.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 2920

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Bernhard Runge]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: TB   version 0.9 (20041103)

I know, that this is not a bug, but it would be a very helpful feature to be 
able to delete unneeded attachments, even if I do not(!!) want to delete the 
whole message from somebody else. 

This happens quite often and I am using the following work-around: I put the 
message into the DRAFTS folder, there I can open the message, delete the 
attachment and save and put it back to the original folder. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
In the context menu there should be another option: not only "Delete message" 
but also "Delete attachments".

work-around: put the 
message into the DRAFTS folder, there you can open the message, delete the 
attachment and save and put it back to the original folder.
