ahha!   LOts of right click things never get seen by me because I jsut don't think about it. It does work, but not if I click on the image itself that is showing up inline in the email..
I have to click on the line at the end where it says attachement.

Merci mille fois

Alastair, that is what I do too, now - and have been doing for quite a while.. 
but that puts it in the sent mail folder from me,  not in the Inbox... which is 
where I wan't it.  Then I forward my sent mail to my inbox , but then the from 
is me, not the person who sent it..

If you reply to that email most email programmes will show the text of the
original email under your reply.  If your does that you can delete the
original email and the text will be preserved but the attachment won't.

No doubt there are other ways of achieving that outcome - but the above is
the strategy I used when  space is an issue

I keep ALL my emails, except for junk, of course, but sometimes friends
send me attachments that eat up a lot of space or are things I don't
want... but I want to keep the email part of the email...  is there a way
to preserve
the mail in my inbox in thunderbird but delete the attachments?

someone sent me mp3's of music I can't stand anyway and eat up 8 mgs - but
the person who sent them
is dear to me so I want to keep that mail
