Subject: how does gnus delete attachments IMAP
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 08:38:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r2v17u3x.fsf@hillenius.net> (raw)


I have this email that has four large files attached to it. Using Gnus,
I deleted all of them - showing me this:

[4. Deleted attachment (466580 bytes) --- text/plain]...

[5. Deleted attachment (11297946 bytes) --- text/plain]...

[6. Deleted attachment (9428994 bytes) --- text/plain]...

[7. Deleted attachment (443779 bytes) --- text/plain]...

Oddly enough, on the IMAP server, the files are still there, in the
email message. When I look at the specific message, I see, for
example, this:

--=-=-=
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Disposition: attachment
Content-Description: Deleted attachment (466580 bytes)

,----
| The following attachment has been deleted:
|
| Type:           application/pdf
| Filename:       00 - Foom bla-bla.pdf
| Size (encoded): 466580 bytes
| Description:    00 - Foom bla-bla.pdf
`----

--=-=-=
Content-Type: application/pdf;


But it has not actually been deleted.

What did I miss?
