Deleting attachments

[Jorge Luis]

Is there a way to interactively delete attachments to an arbitrary mutt mbox
folder?

In other words, is it possible to list my folders, sort them by size, and then
claw through the directory, deleting attachments that I no longer need.

I'd prefer to answer a prompt: (delete-attachment [yes]|no), but I'd settle
for a method that automatically scrubs attachments?

What about deleting attachments of a certain MIME type?  All doc files, for
example.

Thanks for any help.

I've wished for this for years.  I've gotten used to digging
into each message and selectively deleting the attachments,
but I still wish this feature existed.

I've been wanting to jump into Mutt development, maybe I
should start with a patch for this... 

Don't get your hopes up anytime soon though.

In short: on the mail hit v (view-attachments) and delete the attachments
with d (delete-entry).

Bye, Jörg.
