Re(2): Deleting messages attachments

[Marlyse Comte]

 I just drag the attachment from the  message window to my desktop. PM
 only moves files from the attachments folder to the trash when
 deleting the message. No need to go to the actual attachments folder
 in the finder.

ahhh see, I am one of those people who easily collects hundreds of
files on the desktop in one big mess and then end up with a folder on the
desktop with these assorted tidbits collected called 'desktop_stuff2sort'
and then 'desktop_stuff2sort_2' - LOL, no disciplinary measure has helped
so far - so by whatever means I will drag attachments NOT to the desktop
but directly into their clients folder or, as suggested, into a sub-
attachment folder from PM. assuming others suffer the same untidiness as
I do, I tried not to spread my bad desktop habits with suggesting what
you did ;-)

 How do I do to delete the message but _keep_ the attachment (without
 manually move/copy it directly from the finder first)? Is this
 possible?

you will need to move the attachment manually from the attachment folder
if you want to keep it but trash the message. 

control-click onto the attachment icon  reveal in finder  drag it to
another location 

(e.g. 'attachments_to_keep' within the attachment folder or just a level
higher - makes the manual drag step fast and painless). 

PM needs to loose the link to the attachment which happens through
manually moving the attachment to another location. now you're save to
trash the email message.

delete message and empty the trash.

That's good and simple enough. Thanks. :-)

But now the issue must of course come up:

When trashing a message the attachment is left in the attachment folder.
How do I do to:

Delete both message and attachment?

Yes please!!  I can't believe that is how it works...
