It would be really convenient. Would this be a challenging task? >> 2.

In my current mutt workflow, I'm a lot more aggressive. Once I'm done looking at a (binary) attachment, I actively save or delete it. Then every few months I just tell mutt to sort by size and delete any attachments I may have missed. I don't expect the exact same workflow with notmuch, but I was trying to find some way to handle this. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
