Removing pictures from ID3v2 tag

[Stefan Vunckx]

No, it return TRUE but - and this is embarrassing now - as it turns out I was 
saving to a file which was to be overwritten by a copy of the original file 
in the code shortly after, so no wonder the images were not removed.

Thus I apologise for the stupid mail, I think I had too much coffee that 
night, or too little. One can never be sure when it comes to coffee!

Regards,
Stefan Vunckx
