how to ged rid of attachments from message base ?
Hello tbudl, Let's assume, we have an account with extremly big sent mail folder The option Bind attachments only while sending out mail wasn't active - so my suspection is all the attachments are stored in MESSAGES.TBB file. Is there any program/trick/way I could use to get rid all the attachments stored in message bodies ? As an effect I expect a clean MESSAGES.TBB file with clean messages in it without any attachments ... -- Best regards, ZdroYY mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Promocja Grudniowa Serwery www, konta e-mail www.oferta.alpha.pl Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That's a correct assumption. ;-) Z Is there any program/trick/way I could use to get rid all the Z attachments stored in message bodies ? 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 Delete) Z As an effect I expect a clean MESSAGES.TBB file with clean messages Z in it without any attachments ... 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. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi, Gerard wrote in msgid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : It might help to know that there is View|Display|only msg with attachments 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.
