A few comments on the below post. First off, in addition to the method Rhonda described for deleting attachments (detach and delete), which is correct, one can navigate to the attachment header in their e-mail headers of the attachment they wish to delete, and press [BACKSPACE with dots 1-4], [CONTROL with I]. You will be prompted to confirm deletion, so press Y for "Yes". Note, however, that if you have opened the message from the OutBox/Drafts, and are therefore shown the headers of the message before its actual contents, and if you come across an attachment that you wish to delete, you cannot use the aforementioned command; you must press ENTER, detach it somewhere, press Y for "Yes" at the prompt asking whether you wish to delete the attachment, and then, after you have closed out of the message, you can delete the attachment from the location to which you have detached it. The command only works if you're reviewing the headers without pressing ENTER on the message (i.e. when reading already sent/received e-mails).
Second, when one deletes e-mails with attachments, they are, in most cases (although, with me, they have been deleted with e-mails which contain very large attachments (which have a size of several MB)), not deleted. I want to clarify Rhonda's point about an attachments folder. Whenever one receives an attachment, it is stored in the /KeyMail/Attachments directory of the Flash Disk, and they are not removed when one deletes e-mails, so after some time, it is a good idea to go into this directory, and delete the contents. In addition to your actual attachments, you will find many (in extreme cases, where this directory's contents have not been emptied for quite a while, possibly 30 or 40 of each) files called "Attachment[number]" and "Body[number]" without the quotes, and where [number] is simply the number put at the end of the file to differentiate from those previously placed in that folder before. Simply delete all of these. Note that, if you receive an e-mail with an attachment, and you delete this attachment by actually deleting the file from the /KeyMail/Attachments directory on the Flash Disk, you will still see the attachment header for that attachment in your e-mail. However, when you choose to do something with it (detach or read), you will be told "reference file cannot be found", and rightly so because you have removed that file from the folder. Also note that, one can manipulate the files in the /KeyMail/Attachments directory through the File Manager as they would any other folder (move/copy files), and when browsing through the list of files, one can, as in other locations, use the shortcuts to manipulate files directly from the list ([BACKSPACE with M], [READ with CONTROL with M] to move, [BACKSPACE with dots 1-4], [CONTROL with I] to erase, and [BACKSPACE with R], [READ with CONTROL with R] to rename). From quickly testing, if you had renamed a file in this directory, it would still register with its previous name in your e-mail header, and you would still be taken to the correct attachment.
