I'm not sure if this would work, but it's what occurs to me. If you have told TB to store attachments in a separate directory, then I think all the HTML files would be in there. Deleting them would be very easy if you want to get rid of all of them. For just the ebay ones you could search for all files containing a certain text string and delelte all of those. If you want to automate deletion of the html files as they come in, you could create a filter for your ebay emails and tell the filter to execute a batch file each time. It would be simple to have a 'delete all html files' batch command, I'm not sure about deleting all recent ones but maybe it could be done with a clever command line utility. Given Thomas' response, maybe I've missed something and this won't work. Unfortunately I've got my attachments stored in message bodies so can't really try it out.

Yes, but you can do that only on the account level. In my main account I receive regular HTML mails from AOL'ers (otherwise friends of mine). But I also receive other attachments, which I definitely want to keep in the message body. There is a filter with which I can extract the attachments from the habitual HTML-senders to a seperate directory, but the attachments will only be copied to that destination. If the attachments would be actually extracted, that would be the solution. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. A day without sunshine is like, night.

Mass delete HTML attachments?
I receive lots of eBay notifications for my auctions. eBay sends them out as HTML messages and provides no preference options to send as text only. TB, of course, treats the HTML as a deletable attachment. Deleting the HTML attachment typically reduces the size of a typical message from 12k to 2k! I have no use for the HTML portion of the message and would like to automate their deletion. Is there any way to do this for my 2000+ old messages?
