Hi all,
Ow... too shortsighted..! You are right, it DOES work. The attachment is
still there, but with empty contents.
Thanks and sorry to bother you!

This looks to work on my 17.0.5 Thunderbird on CentOS 6.4
(I guess Dovecot is not involved but running on 2.2.beta1).
It does detach the file, places it in the chosen folder, removes the
option to detach or delete from the message menu
but (nice indeed) remembers where you put the attachment and can still
show it if you click on it or save it again if you want to!!
But how do we know its been detached if it still shows in Thunderbird?
Looking into the actual message file I see the following at the end:
--------------020104000205010901050407

You deleted an attachment from this message. The original MIME headers
for the attachment were:
Content-Type: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text;
name="=?UTF-8?B?MjAxMzA0MDQtzpPOoy5vZHQ=?="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;

Nice!!

Hi all,
Thunderbird has an option to detach attachments from (for example)
sent items. I've tried it, and it does not work, and also in the
dovecot logs I don't see anything interesting meanwhile.
Before looking deeper into this: Does anyone here know if this option
is known to work, or not?
We're running dovecot 2.1.7 on debian wheezy.
Removing unwanted attachments is a nice way to keep mail archives
smaller...
Thanks,
MJ
