When replying to a message which contains an attachment the attachment is included with the reply message and ther seems no way of preventing this. I am used to turnpike and outlook which hold a reference but do not keep sending the attachemnt back and forth

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open email with attachemnt
2.Reply
3.The replt will contain the attachemnt




A reference to the file attachemnt should be included as text but the attachment should not be resent as part of the reply

presumably, these are text or html attachments...I recently checked in a change on the trunk so that we won't quote text attachments at all - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358124

Not sure what happens with html attachments. I don't leave a reference at all since that doesn't seem so useful...

The problem occurs with all attachments that display inline, including images (if you're doing an HTML reply), .eml files, and HTML.  I've done some testing; it appears that only the text/plain case is covered.  Unfortunately, my testing is hindered by bug 358938; but I've got at least one message with a text/html attachment that doesn't get included on reply, I don't know what the difference is.

I don't understand this comment.  What kind of reference?

By reference, I was referring to the original comment in this bug - I assume it's something like the title/name of the attachment that was stripped...
