Exactly. Unfortunately quite a few of my correspondents readily send attachments completely unnecessarily -- more or less automatically going with their responses to mails with attachments -- and I'm certainly not in a position to educate them about it. So a lot of redundancy ends up in my mail file, and I cherish the possibility to actually dispose of that. etach's detach does exactly that, pulls the attachment out of the mail, offers to save it (poss. with a different name), and just makes a note that it has removed an attachment and to which file such like: """ ------_=_NextPart_001_01CAEB5E.3071D732 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Former-Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Former-Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable [file:/home/enno/detached/FILE_0004.html] ------_=_NextPart_001_01CAEB5E.3071D732-- """ As you can imagine, this helps to reduce the size of my mail file considerably, which in turn makes working with email as quick as you would expect it (Emacs gets a wee bit slow with a mail file of several MBytes...). Brgds, enno.
