Interesting. I sent an email with attachment yesterday and it's still in my Sent folder.
In the Sent mailbox contents list it shows no paperclip, but clicking the email to show the content displays in the content pane WITH a paperclip - for this email, 'Remove Attachments' is greyed out. Even if I move that email to another mailbox, 'Remove Attachments' is still greyed out. I wonder if Mail is not storing the actual attachment in the email but linking to the original and therefore has no need to remove it? It's a bit confusing though … Update: Having moved the email back from the other folder into the Sent folder, the paperclip now appears in the list and 'Remove Attachments' is available. Curiouser and curiouser! Any emails I have received have the 'Remove Attachments' option available.

I'm trying to narrow down the symptoms of the bug!
