Deleting attachments in archived messages

[James Felix Black]

Hello,

Is it possible to strip attached files out of archived messages?

TIA,

Since you have Ognus, try "C-o" on the button of the attachment.

You can edit them and remove the MML tags manually.

Well, yes, of course.  I was looking for something a little less 1971,
though.

Another idea: `C-d' on the message, then copy the part you want, then
delete the original.

If you want to do this for not-yet-archived messges, that should be what
you seek:

(require 'gnus-msg)
(defadvice gnus-inews-do-gcc 
  (around gnus-news-do-gcc-inhibit-body-encoding  first activate)
  (let ((message-inhibit-body-encoding t))
    ad-do-it))

I don't really know where I got that from, but it seems to work quite
well.

Beautiful.  This is exactly what I'm looking for.
