cc'd to mailmanager-developers as this is more of a dev question

There is no option to do this in MailManager at present. If you would like
to enable support for this, a brief look at the code suggests you should
modify the addMessageToTicket method to strip out attachments. This can be 
found in MailManager.py. 

If you want this added into the main upstream release we would probably 
need the following to be done:

  * An SQL script modifying to the accounts table (adds in option to strip
    attachments)
  * Alterations to the addMessageToTicket code to query the account settings
    from SQL and handle the attachments appropriately
  * A test case showing the code working
     calling process on an account with the flag set
     calling process on an account without the flag set.
 
I realise that might not be practical, in which case submitting an RFE 
(Request for enhancement) on sourceforge will mean we will look at it at
a later stage and consider adding it to the roadmap.

Kevin
