Bugzilla Bug 121728 RFE: Ability to Edit/delete attachments in mail/news
I would love to see this enhancement implemented to let my mail users eliminate several dozen gigabytes of attachments that are almost certainly already saved elsewhere on the corporate network. Disk space may be relatively inexpensive, but this duplicated data still needs to be backed up.
I voted for this bug, and would like to see the features Joan proposed (preferably record the date and time of attachment removal) documented in the Bugzilla 121728 enhancement request:
File: Very_Big_Binary
Removed on: 02/07/02 11:15:23
Saved in : /users/Tom/data/big_files
This information would improve user productivity and reduce "where did I save this" support calls.

that there's almost certain to be at least one bug open on it (which would
have my vote, BTW . . . )./b.
