[Bill Wohler]

This sounds like a very useful idea and would dovetail nicely with our own K o.

Does anybody have a nice way of deleting attachments from received
emails? If I get an attachment from someone that I need to keep (e.g. a
PDF version of a paper), I tend to file away the PDF. I'd like to then
delete the attachment, but keep the email it was sent with.

I guess I can always edit the file of the message and delete the
attachment 'by hand', but wondered if there was a way of doing it from
within mh-e?

Thanks, Stephen

In Gnus there's `gnus-article-save-part-and-strip' (I don't use MH-E).
Not sure if there's an MH-E interface for it or if it would be easy to
implement.
