Purge the message from my local and remote dir Is there a way to implement this? You can do it by hand: - connect mutt directly to your Gmail folder that you want to clean - sort the messages by size (most size will be due to attachment) - pipe all messages above a threshold to a script which prepares and sends the reply - delete the messages Probably this can be automated, at least to some extent. I prefer to save the attachments on disk, then and delete them from the messages. Later on I can still see the name of the deleted attachment file in the messages, then I can quickly find the detached file using locate. Best, Mihai

I asked to do this in the client side because I use Gmail. How I could do this on the Gmail side? If it is possible, I will love it! -- Marcelo

Block, autoreplay and purge messages with attachement size large than 1MB
Hi, Although I have already pleaded and begged my department colleagues not to send me messages with attachments larger than 1MB, the unfortunate ones continue to post messages with attachments over 25GB. These days, when GMAIL increased the size limit to 50GB, I wanted to die. Today, I received a message from GMAIL stating that my box is about to run out of space. It's the end! Please, is there a way for me to configure offlineimap, msmtp and mutt to: 1. to check if the message has an attachment 2. to check the attachment size 3. If the attachment is larger than 1MB, send a message with the following text: "Dear colleague, your message has not been delivered.
