Hm. Just tried it, and no, it seems that attachment is stored with
original message. If I delete all the attachments from attachment
directory, messages still keep the attachments - both the ones I
received and the ones I sent. Those I didn't send yet lose
attachments if I clear the attachment directory.
Only way to delete attachment in message is to select attachment in
TB, right-click, and choose "delete".

Do you have "delete attachments when message is deleted from Trash"
turned off? If it's on, I get your results too.
I've just tried again, and this time I didn't get new copy of
attachment on auto-save, but every time I put the message in outbox.
Interesting.

Me too.

Aha. Thanks for explanation.
