Hi,
I do get a lot of e-Mails with Attachments at work. So my Mail Folders 
are quite big.
Lately I saw a nice feature in MUTT (linux VIO Mailer).
With MUTT you can remove the attachments from the mail, you donn't copy 
the file to an other location but you move it there. On the other side 
when you open a Mail with a removed attachement you see a message saying 
something like " The attachement "Important_document" has been removed 
from this e-Mail"
This would be a nice feature which would keep Mail Accounts lean.
As an  enhancement to this would be nice if this "removed attachment" 
had some properties like: Where is the attachment saved and when.
On the GUI level you could gray out the "removed attachment"-Name, so 
you can see the mail had some attachements, but somathing has happened 
to them. And with a RMB you should get a Properties Dialog where it says:

File: Very_Big_Binary
Removed on: 02/07/02
