Subject: Removing attachments before posting

If I've attached a file/document to an email, and then before
sending the message realise I don't want it attached anymore,
how do I get rid of it?

Just erasing the Attachmnt: header line doesn't work as it doesn't
let me erase the attachment number, and then won't let me send the
email without putting some sort of attachment in there.

There is probably an easy solution to what I'm doing, but I'll be
buggered if I can find it.

Any help appreciated.

> sending the message realise I don't want it attached anymore,

It's even worse (weirder) than that.  If you receive a message with a
multipart/alternative attachment, select "forward", delete the attachment,
and then send the message, your message goes out as a
multipart/alternative with the same boundaries as the original message. 
(This is true in 3.95). Hopefully the boundary marker is not in your
message text.  Everything *looks* ok, but the content-type really should
be text/plain (or whatever) instead of multipart/alternative.
