I have many business emails with large attachments, and I like to keep the emails for record without the attachments. So, the plugin would not actually delete it but replace a messages recorded that was a attachment. What I can do is to put one more menu item as "purge attachments" > A wishlist item: I'd like to be able to delete specific attachments, > some messages can have more than one attachment but I don't want to > delete all of them. The whishlist item could be done, I suppose. I will look into it. > I think it would be great if your plugin could be merged into upstream > evolution for evolution 2.26 so everyone has it.

I also talked to Sankar P <psankar at novell dot com> on #evolution irc channel, and psankar told me if the code need to get into svn, I need to reassign the copyright to Novel. Which stop me to have the code in upstream's svn repository.

Should I get it? :-) 1. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534453 regards - -Rex -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkj0HKwACgkQOl4Wbdx2/rlMnQCeN8oCpv3eia7M2HARoZVRDzvJ JcsAn2vsXZvjUWpYxyags7vq4w/54V8M =CnUA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
