any way to remove attachments
Anybody know how to remove an attachment from a message? Often I want to save the message but not the attachment. Haven't figured out how to do that.
It's a feature...
This comes up a lot on the X4U mailing list, where one of the Apple Mail team members ("Cricket") regularly participates. You cannot remove attachments from a message. This helps with portability and is a design decision, not a bug. It may be addressed in a future update, but not in Jaguar (according to Cricket, at any rate).
Why?
I guess I don't understand why this would be a feature. What on earth does deleting an attachment have to do with portability? If it's a question of how the mail is formatted, the right answer is to reformat the mail so it appears as though the attachment was never there.

You ask how the inability to delete parts of an e-mail message is a design feature and not a bug. Portability is definitely one of the key reasons. |
