Hi, Pine has a nice feature (a bit hidden) that allows removing an attachement from any loaclly stored email in a mbox folder, leaving a text like this: | [ Part 2: "Deleted Attachment" ] | | [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved: ] | [ A Application/X-GUNZIP segment of about 1,422,562 bytes, ] However, the name of the attachement is lost. I once wrote a little app to delete the attachement (I only got to beta status), but I lost it time ago, or at least i can not find it. I'd have to redo it, and it could only remove, not save the file. I wonder if such a thing does exist? Or if some other mail program can do the trick? Perhaps formail, but no idea how (yes, I have read the man). Google... I have never learnt to use it, and my network connection is temporary and paid by the minute. I prefer human persons and knowhow :-) Even a library for programmers would help a bit. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved: ] [ A Application/X-GUNZIP segment of about 1,422,562 bytes, ]
