Comment 40 for bug 303140

Totally agree with comment 25: I often send signed mails with big attachments, and I need to keep trace of the mails sent, the attachments attached, and the text of the mails, but I do NOT need the attachments themselves. While deleting/detaching attachments is impossible since 10 years, marking the attachment and hitting the delete button still works and leaves an empty message.

The proposed resolution is clear since 10 years: remove the signature/encryption when deleting an attachment, and warn the user about it, preferably with option not to warn again.

David Bienvenu, who proposed this RFE 2005, retired from this bug after 7 years without any proposed patch. Anybody there who is willing to implement this rather basic fix?
