I use `d' on an attachment button to delete it, `C-o' to save it and
replace it with a link to where you save it, `r' to delete it and
replace it with a link to a specified, already existing file, etc.
On nnimap groups, this works, but is a bit flakey, often leaving both
the edited message and the original message around. When that happens,
I just delete the original message.
