mail attachment in evolution

venugopal59 · 08-18-2010, 10:32 AM

Hi,
I have ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Compaq laptop, and use evolution mail. Is there a way to delete an attachment I received, while keeping the rest of the body of that mail?
Thanks.

I just checked now:
There is no option for deleting the attachment directly in Evolution,

But you can :
1. Right click the mail.
2. Select "Edit as New Message..."
3. Then delete the attachment.
4. Save as draft.

Thank you, sem007. I downloaded evolution-remove attachments_0.0.2_i386.deb. But when I try to install this, I get an error message: "Conflicts with the installed package "evolution". What do I do now?
