With IMAP, messages cannot be edited.  To work around this, Gnus will
typically create a new message without the attachments.  How Gnus treats
the original seems inconsistent to me.  Sometimes it is deleted, but
sometimes it sticks around, in which case I mark it as expirable, so it
will get deleted later.
