The Thunderbird add-on 'AttachmentExtractor' should be able to do
that,
but I don't know if it still works with recent versions of
Thunderbird as
it hasn't been updated in a long time.
As Bill already noted such operations should be considered wisely.
Wrong
manipulation of the message can make it unreadable. Backups are
mandatory.
I'm happy to be corrected here, but, I'm fairly certain I have done so
in
the past, with no ill effect, and, one can always copy the actual file
to
a new file, anyhow.
it was i think uudecode ? first for uuencoded emails, and, munpack for
mime encoded, something like 'munpack email_file':
Yes, but that does not *remove* the attachments from the existing
message file. It extracts decoded copies of the attachments. The
original message file is unmodified.
