there is a windows tool that strips attachments from emails on the server. i think it works for exchange. is there a tool or a way to do this for imap?
yes, this is doable. e.g. mutt client can delete attachments from messages stored on imap server. in reality it would get the message, strip attachments, upload the message witout attachments and delete the original message with attachments. i believe mozilla thunderbird also offers a similar option.
i don't mean a mail filter that would strip them before the user sees them, i mean that the user could actively cooperate to reduce mail storage space, yet keep the original email on the server sans attachment.
right. yes, this is done by the approach described before. or you could use the imapsize tool: http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/imap-delete-attachments.php regards, kirill -- #!/usr/bin/perl -w print(&{sub{eval(qq(q(@_)))}}((join(''=>map{ord=~m(1(06|12))?uc:lc}($[=> map{chr}(97..122))[map{int}grep{length}split(/(\d\d)/,'102119200114152'. q(008051816051812080103110518))]))=~m(^(Just)(.+)(Perl)(.+)(?#:-)$)),$/)
