Subject: Forwarding and attachments

Hello,

I'd like to share a problem I'm having with Pine 4.58 (patched) w.r.t.
forwarding mails. I've received some spam with image attachments that I
wish to forward to Spamcop. Spamcop doesn't accept too large submissions
however, so I wanted to remove the images from the forwarded message.
This, however, doesn't work. I've disabled include-attachments-in-reply
and I've marked the attachments for deletion before trying to forward.
Despite this, Pine insists on forwarding the entire message, whether I try
to do it as an attachment with full headers, or inline. I suspect this
might be caused by the fact that the offending message is both in plain
text and in HTML, and that the pictures are part of the HTML. Am I
correct here? Is this a bug or a feature? :)

regards,

With the following steps you can acheive what you want:

1. Open the mail.

2. Press "v" to go to the ATTACHMENT index.

3. Move the marker to the part that you want to remove.

4. Press "d" to delete (or rather, mark for deletion).

5. Go back to MESSAGE index and save the mail with "s" to another or the
   same folder. You will get a warning the attachement will be removed.

6. The mail will be save wit the original attachment replaced with a one
   line placeholder.

If I get or send a large attached file, a save the mail in that way.

Mats

Thanks for the tip! I don't know why I couldn't figure this out myself,
BTW ;-)
