No.

Even if it doesn't, what I would expect, coping the complete msg base
with a purge+compress in betwen should do the trick.

I haven't tried this, but it could be worth an experiment. In Account
Properties / Files & Directories, there is an option to store
attachments in a separate directory (that is, outside the message
base). Would TB apply this to existing messages? If so, could you then
use the TBB file apart from the attachment directory?

HTH,

Gosh, the things you learn from this list. How very useful. Thanks.

There is also another quick way to filter what you see. Click on any
item (read/unread, attachment, parked, flagged, name, subject, date)
in the summary view while keeping the Alt key depressed and only
similar messages will be displayed. This display filter is kept active
in all folders until you press the Esc key.

Regards,

Markus

That might make it easy to find the messages with attachments. The
same could be said about sorting on attachments. ;-)

Confidence is crucial to good golf. Confidence is simply the aggregate

That's a correct assumption. ;-)

Don't know about a trick or a separate program, but you can do that
with TB. First select the message, then select the attachment, then
delete the attachment (by pressing )

To get that you must compress the sent mail folder after you've
deleted all attachments. Just tried it and I got 3 MB free after
deleting three digital photos.
