           Summary: Detach attachments (save, remove, and link) from email
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: harland.coles at energy-x.com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Detach attachment(s) from email messages by:
a) saving it(them) into a chosen(or default) directory, then
b) removing/deleting it from the email, while retaining the rest of the email
contents, and
c) putting a linking phrase/identifier into the email with possible tagging
data such as date, size, type; so detached attachment is openable from within
email by a link (or even inline viewing still intact).
d) Optionally: upon forwarding email, detached attachment(s){i.e.
'detachments'} will be RE-attached before sending (further option[preference]:
if detached, then saved sent forwarded email message  will only retain
'detachment link'.

I have been itching for this feature set for a long time.  There exists a pipe
through filter 'Kmail Power Tools' written in perl listed on kde-apps.org, but
a built solution would be preferable - thus giving (d) above.

I greatly enjoy using KMail, as it has been a very solid and often used app. :)
Cheers
