Somebody mentioned above that KMail should be able to delete attachments from signed e-mails. Installing KMail would however pull loads of KDE dependencies which I don't really want, so I just Evolution 3.44.4-0ubuntu2, which comes with Ubuntu MATE 22.04.
If you delete an attached text file, Evolution replaces its contents with this text line: File "filename.txt" has been removed. That is, it does not really completely remove the attachment like Thunderbird does, but it should reduce its size drastically. However, I couldn't remove an attached PDF from a signed e-mail with Evolution. There was no error message, but the removal just didn't work. That is similar to the behaviour of Thunderbird's add-on "Attachment Extractor": it does not remove the attachments of signed e-mails, but it does not complain either. It just fails silently. I am guessing that this add-on is just a convenience wrapper to apply Thunderbird's attachment removal logic to many e-mails at once. I would be grateful if anybody else could mention some other e-mail client, add-on or command-line tool which could delete attached files from signed e-mails. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303140 Title: No more "Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" for attachments Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird After receiving an email with more than one attachment, I have to open/detach/save them one by one, cause "Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" in the GUI are not available This happens since version 2.0.0.18 1) Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 (X11/20081125) MIME-Version: 1.0 2) Package: Linux-Mint 5 3) "Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" available when right- klicking on an attachment 4 )"Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" greyed out, so not available ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Nov 28 11:34:16 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: wl fglrx Package: mozilla-thunderbird 2.0.0.18+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: thunderbird Uname: Linux 2.6.24-21-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/303140/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
