Re: [Evolution] How to delete attachment from saved message

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

A couple of reasons:
 - mail stores are basically write only, you can't edit a message
without creating a new one and deleting the old one, which causes a few
other problems
 - disk is cheap
 - mailboxes are more reliable than pst files
 - disk is cheap
etc.

I guess it kinda depends on just how many/how big attachments you get. 
I just get random shit and pictures, save it, view it, and usually
forget about it somewhere in my home dir.
