💅 CLAWS-MAIL-ATTACH-REMOVER 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about claws-mail-attach-remover — yes that's the whole name, breathe — it lives in section 7 of the manual (yep, the (7) is literally part of the name, we love a specific queen) 💖

✨ NAME ✨

claws-mail-attach-remover — remove attachments from mail messages 🗑️✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

hiii so this manual page is the little doc for the claws-mail-attach-remover package, and it's honestly a quick read, which is a vibe 🌈

ngl, this manpage was written specifically for the Debian™ distribution, because the original program straight up does not have a manual page. so someone had to step up and be the main character 😌💅

so what is claws-mail-attach-remover? it's a plugin — aka a loadable module — for the Claws Mail mailer 💌

and what does it do? it enables the removal of all attachments from the selected message. the way you use it: when you right-click a message over on the message list, you choose the “Remove attachments” option from the submenu that pops up. that's it. that's the whole ritual 🎀

🦋 USAGE 🦋

okay so before you can use any plugin, you have to tell Claws Mail to load it on startup. it's not gonna read your mind, bestie 😭

here's the whole journey:

  1. go to the “Configuration” menu up on the main window toolbar.
  2. open the “Plugins...” dialog.
  3. click on the “Load plugin...” button.
  4. select the plugin file — it's named att_remover.so 👑
  5. press the “Open” button.

slay, you're loaded ✨

💀 CAVEATS 💀

okay so listen, right now there is genuinely no way for you to select individual attachments for removal. like, none. zero. it's all or nothing 😭🙈

so choose wisely, because everything's going at once. it's giving "we die like men" energy and there's nothing I can do about it 💀
