In Mail create a new smart folder with the rule "Contains Attachments". You could restrict it to searching the folders you intend to archive if needed. Then go into that smart folder, select all the emails, go to the "Messages" menu and select "Remove Attachments". Done. Then archive them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
