Some people keep sending me email with 3MB attachments, which annoys me anyway. Since they are impervious to advice, I decided to delete the attachmenst. I dont't want to remove the whole email though. This worked fine, until some days ago, when one of them started signing his mail. > If you REALLY REALLY want to delete the attachment and you don't care > about invalidating the signature, you can edit the email with your > text editor (press E). This is not an option for me. The signature seems to be an attachment itself, and I certainly don't want to hack into the MIME structure.

This seems not to work for me (key not bound). What should it do? Strip *all* attachments? Certainly not what I want. How can I remove the signature? As said, it's an attachment wihich I failed to delete due to it's own presence.
