First: Thanks for all the work!
I would like to add my plea for implementing one of the two solutions
that allow deleting attachments: My Thunderbird folder already exceeds 6
GB even without attachments and deleting my client's e-mails just
because they happened to both sign them and attach a few
And still we cannot get rid of attachment when someone is signing its
emails, even with non valid signatures. Because all our messages will
likely be under some Court investigation, and we should not decide on
our own what to keep and what to delete (but we can delete the whole
message, so...)

Dear all,
The impossibility to remove attachments of signed emails is actually very
annoying. The size of my mail box is limited and I need to delete some
attachments, which I cannot currently. This problem seems to be already 16
years (!) old. Is there anyway to make this topic visible again

I tried to "clean" some (actually many) of my e-mails (I wanted to keep
the text while reducing the file size by deleting the attachments) and
this still seems to be a big problem after 16 years (!)... as I use TB
in a corporate environment, many of the e-mails are signed and thus they
become

I don't think 1282701 is a duplicate of this. Original post talks about
sign icon being broken after an attachment is deleted. Referenced bug
talks about inability to easily remove attachments in signed emails.

It cannot be that difficult to finally solve this problem.
What I've been doing as a workaround for years is the following:
* use any tool/editor capable of manipulating the email (header), e.g., the
HeaderToolsLite extension.
* Change in the "Content-Type" entry the "multipart/signed" to

Hi everybody,
more or less daily I send out emails with attachments, and I like the idea of
having my emails signed. But the attachments are blowing up my email folder
size on hard disk, so I have to stop signing them. And I want to read them in
25 years still without any special tools
@wroot, if you more carefully read my post of 2016-06-28 01:49:32 PDT
you will see that my workaround does not only prevent an error message,
but also does enable removing attachments.
I also indicated a sloppiness in TB's way of detecting that a message is
signed (when determining whether it
Unfortunately, it's _not_ a "rather basic fix," because the MIME
handling code in Thunderbird is a mess which makes even seemingly small
changes difficult.
I believe someone is in the process of rewriting all the MIME handling
stuff in JavaScript which will eventually replace the old, messy, C++
Totally agree with comment 25: I often send signed mails with big
attachments, and I need to keep trace of the mails sent, the attachments
attached, and the text of the mails, but I do NOT need the attachments
themselves. While deleting/detaching attachments is impossible since 10
years, marking
Oops, correcting a copy error in my but-last paragraph above:
BTW, TB apparently blocks deleting/detaching attachments as long as it
finds "application/x-pkcs7-signature" as a substring(!) of the Content-
Type entry, which is bad hack. It should rather check that there is a
parameter with (full)

TB 31.7 still does not allow to delete attachments from signed messages.
Attached is a screenshot that shows the delete/detach functions "greyed
out" (disabled).

David, yes i understood that correctly and was able to remove
attachments;) My second statement wasn't directed at you, but at the
situation in general.

David, thanks for the workaround. It seems that this and other tickets a
more about dealing with errors about broken signature and not about the
thing that a user should be able to deal with attachments no matter if
it will show an error or not.

Given the increasing number of security issues and fraud with emails, it
