[Evolution] Managing attachments...

["Ujwal S. Sathyam" <ujwal netbrowser com>]

Eudora (on the Mac anyway) has a feature I like where attachments are downloaded into a designated folder. The message then just keeps a reference to that file instead of keeping the whole attachment embedded within the mail. The inbox then does not grow to astronomical sizes. My Evolution inbox currently is about 80MB, largely due to attachments. I guess most of it is my fault for not having saved attachments and deleting the mail, but in many cases I want to keep the mail around for future reference.

Is something like that possible in Evolution? I guess what I am asking for is an option to automatically save my attachmetns to disk and then cutting it out of the email. Or does this go against all RFCs?

Thanks,

Ujwal
