An idea to build on this. There should be a few options. 

1: Leave the attachment attached in the email ie: it stays encoded, and 
is decoded only on request when needed, and thus stays in the mail 
database. This is good for people that want to keep the attachments with 
the email forever. (OE does this)

2: Detach attachments on receipt, and store in a folder. ie: the 
attachment works the way Emailer does now. This is good for those that 
don't want to keep the attachment, but might want to keep the email, as 
it will keep the database size MUCH smaller.

3: If the Detach on Receipt option is selected... have an additional 
option that will delete the attachment when the email it came from is 
deleted. This is good for people that like #2, but don't want to be 
bothered manually throwing out unwanted attachments.
