Subject: Attachments in "sent-mail" folder

Is there a way to suppress saving attachments in the sent-mail folder? 
For space reasons I would like to keep the text of mail that has been sent
with attachments, including, if possible, a reference to the attached
file(s), but without the attachment(s).  

On a similar note, I would also like to be able to save the text of 
incoming mail to a folder without the attachments, but have been unable 
to figure out a simple way to do this.

>to figure out a simple way to do this.  

    I've wondered the same thing, whether it might be possible at some time
to be able to manipulate mail saved into folders to delete the attachments
themselves after it's been saved to that folder.

    A hack workaround I can think of would be to reply or forward that
mail to yourself, and during composition, delete the reference to the
attachment in the header, and then manually adding a reference thereto
into the text of the outgoing message.

    You can also <E>xport the message, which has the effect of stripping
the header to its bare essentials, losing the separator line which makes
it unusable by Pine as a mail folder, and will insert comments about the
attachments, as well as the character set tagging, automatically.  This
Exported file will by default appear in your home directory, and is not
a folder that Pine expects to find, nor can Pine understand it.
