Stripping mail attachments

Mark HHP

Hey guys, it's been a while.

I'm running the usual mail system to pull in all my emails but I was wondering, is there a way to strip out the attachments? I know that IMAP accounts normally give you the ability to not download the attachment but Aware doesn't have this feature built-in, that I can see anyway.

Any ideas?

I remember it has been discussed on previous posts. A solution would deb to create process checking the attachments and deleting the existing ones daily...

Hey thanks, it's been so long since I've needed to do anything in the backend. What would an example be of the process?

Well, something simple as :

FIND Email WHERE Email.Attachment IS DEFINED
CLEAN Email.Attachment

Thanks! That makes sense when I read it but when you take a break from code of any kind, you often need a kickstart 😉

Thanks again.

Yeah, otherwise you can try this Process too :

FIND Cup.OfCoffee
REPLACE Work.ByFun
