needed - attachment removal tool

[[audiogalaxy]]

hi, sorry for my bad english

sometimes i receive e-mail messages with large attachments.
in 1 or 2 weeks the only thing i want to store is the pure e-mail message
*withhout* attachments, so i can read the message and search for
informations in the future without tons of useless megabytes.

usually i drag the message out of Outlook Express (but i think every e-mail
client does this thing) and drop in a folder; i delete the original message
in OE. Then I open the message with a good text editor (usually notetab) ,
search for the end of the message (HTML or plain text) , select all the
garbage, erase it, then I close and re-drag-and-drop the .EML message in OE.
That's all: the message is the same, but without attachment



i have to do this thing by hand!

is there any freeware that does this simple thing? :-D

bye!

Switch to Thunderbird and never look back!

The upcoming version 1.5 has this functionality built-in. If you
want to stick with the stable 1.0.7 release, you can install the
"Thunderbird Attachments Tools" extension to provide the
functionality.

* Thunderbird 1.0.7: http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/
* Thunderbird 1.5 beta 2:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/releases/1.5beta2.html
(a release candidate should be released one of these days)
* Thunderbird Attachment Tools extension:
http://www.supportware.net/mozilla/#ext9

yes yes, great, all good, please don't let's start a "thunderbird thread"
;-)
TB is good , i know and i subscribe your point of view.

however

i am looking for a tool that can do this for *every* client.
simply analyzing a "TXT" (.EML) and return the "clean" email

my OE example was in fact ... an example

see you

anyone know a tool tool like that ?
