My email provider ([Posteo](http://www.posteo.de)) charges per GB and usually I only want to keep the email but not the attachments anyway.  Therefore, it would be useful if Mu4e had a command for removing attachments. @mankoff posted some code for doing this in #790 and it's working well so far.\r\n\r\nSome details that should be considered:\r\n\r\n1. @mankoff's solution requires the altermine tool which may not be available on the average user's system.\r\n2. It would be great if the attachment was not just deleted but rather be replaced by the name of the formerly attached file (altermine can apparently do this, see [here](https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/790#issuecomment-224748650) for details).\r\n3. If an email has many attachments, it can be tedious to delete them all individually.  It would be food to have the ability to delete multiple/all attachments (similar to `C-u e` for extracting all attachments)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/djcb/mu/issues/comments/225031273","html_url":"https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/866#issuecomment-225031273","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/djcb/mu/issues/866","id":225031273,"user":{"login":"djcb","id":199741,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/199741?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb","html_url":"https://github.com/djcb","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djcb/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-09T21:24:01Z","updated_at":"2016-06-09T21:24:01Z","body":"This would require a bit of new machinery in `mu extract`; in addition, `mu` is not really a fan of modifying messages in the first place. \r\n\r\nSo, this is probably best left to altermime and similar tools; if features are missing, that might be a good place to ask for them."}}
