Remove attachments

[Nicolas Kowalski]

Hello.

Before I switched to XEmacs/Gnus 5.8.8, I used Pine. There was a
usefull feature : the ability to remove attachments.
Is this possible with Gnus ?

Thanks,
Nicolas.

Edit the message from the *Summary* buffer (`e') and remove the lines
referring to that MIME segment.  `C-c C-c' ends editing and rewrites
the modified message into your mail backend.

As I told in private to Karl, the backend I am using is nnimap. It
tells me it does not support article editing.

Is there a solution apart copy the article to an nnml group, remove it
from nnimap group, edit it, then save it to nnimap ?

Thanks,
Nicolas.

I think that nnimap should be extended with a function that fakes
article editing, by deleting the old article and inserting a new
article into the group, keeping all the flags and stuff.

This has been mentioned a long time ago, but nothing has happened
since then.

Nicolas,

    Do you happen to know how pine supports this via IMAP?  Is it part
  of the IMAP protocol?

IMAP does not support article editing. The only way is to delete and
create a new article.

I've noticed that when PINE does this it replaces the attachment
deleted with a little blurb that says 'attachment deleted', or
something like that.  So the basic structure of the message does not
appear to be altered.
