Hello:

I wasn't quite able to figure out how to delete a attachment from a mail
without deleting the mail itself.  Any help!

Regards,
Mohit

What I do is 'v'iew  the message to get to
the ATTACHMENT INDEX,
type D to delete the attachment,
then save the whole message to the
same folder (INBOX).  I get prompted
that the save won't save the attachment,
and after the new attachment-less message
appears in the folder, I expunge the
original
  
Does this help?
 (maybe there is a better way)

I forgot to mention in the previous mail -- I'm aware that the messages having
attachments can be _saved_ to some folder (even the same folder!).  But I
wanted to know whether there's a better way out.

That's the only way to do it within Pine.  If you want you could also try
editting the mail folder file yourself (or writing a script to do it), but
you'll want to make backups first.
