Hallo Britt,
On Tue, 6 Jul 2004 14:46:31 +0200GMT (6-7-2004, 14:46 +0200, where I
live), you wrote:

That's easily explained. Suppose you're collecting stamps and you've
got a list with stamps you're looking for. You send that list to a
friend, meanwhile you add stamps to your collection and delete them
from your list.
Some time later you'd like to check how many changes you've made to
the list you sent in order to decide whether you should post a new
one.
The only way this is possible is by having a copy somewhere. Therefore
just as TB saves the messages it sent, it also saves the attachments
it sent. Anything else wouldn't be acceptable.
BH> Is there a way to turn this feature off?
No.
However there is a work around.
Create an outgoing fiter.
Check for '.' in kludges (or anything else that always matches)
At the 'advanced' tab: check 'message has attachments'
At the 'options' tab: check 'continue processing with other filters'
At the 'actions' tab:
Export message to file
Select a file called 'getrid.bat' in your attachments directory
(You might need to create the file first)
Check 'overwrite existing file'
Export as text
Set the export template filter to this single line:
del %Attachments
Now you also choose the next action:
Run external command
Browse for (and select) the getrid.bat file in your attachments directory
This will get rid of your sent attachments except when you're sending
multiple attachments with one message. As a general rule that's a bad
habit, so this will force you to behave properly and send one file per
message.
