In my opinion this is not freedom, at least not in the GNU sense... 
Of course you should have the freedom to choose to remove/not to remove
your attachments. This is GNU/Linux not M$S... OK, if you consider
removing attachments evil, why not just change the mail ID and name the
deleteted attachments by name as Emacs VM, if you are picky?
