I knew that, but I don't want to manage all the attachments myself, I
thought you could automatize that (as it is done by default in
Eudora).

Eudora stores automaticaly the attachments in a subdirectory of the
mail directory. This prevents the mailbox from becoming too big too
fast.
And are you sure the the size of the mailbox has no impact on the
performances. For example, does mutt take the same time for reading a
mailbox of 10000 mails and 2Mo, and a mailbox of 10000 mails and 200Mo
?
