Is it possible to delete one of many attachments from an email

Hi everyone.
I'm wondering if it's possible to delete a specific attachment from an email message I receive. The mail help topics say:
+To delete an attachment:+
+To delete all the attachments in a message, choose Message > Remove Attachments.+
+The message remains in the mailbox, with a notation that the attachments were manually removed.+
+To delete a specific attachment, select it in the message and choose Edit > Delete or press the Delete key.+
+Mail will not delete an attachment that you have edited or saved.+
I tried the suggested method for deleting a specific attachment but it deletes the entire message, not the specified attachment. Am I missing something, is this a bug, or is the documentation wrong?
Thanks,
Bill Bonetti

V.K.
I had no doubt it worked the same way insofar as deleting the message rather than a single attachment -- my objective was more that Mail Help would not say it worked. When the feature to remove attachments was added, it was only added to allow removal of all attachments, and was not selective. I had verified that Mail Help in Tiger did no claim otherwise, and now I have verified that neither does Mail Help in Leopard.
It is my contention that only the Mail Help in Mail 4.x is incorrect, and that there has not been an intent of a change of feature to match the way the documentation is written. I may agree that nothing should be deleted with this attempt to remove a single attachment, but not with the expectation that it should work as documented. This is because when removal of all attachments takes place, via the command in Message/Remove Attachments, the process is to create a new message copy without the attachments, and the new message is given a new xxxx.emlx filename, and the original is deleted. In other words a reindexing takes place. I would not expect that same process to be triggered merely by use of the Delete key. If that were the case, then that would be the main path to removing attachments, in my opinion.

  • Is it possible to delete the boot/startup volume from Terminal

    Is it possible to delete the boot/startup volume from Terminal?
    What sort of command would/could allow this?

    Is it possible to delete the boot/startup volume from Terminal?
    Do you mean is it possible to destroy your system from the Terminal? Anyone that has spend long enough working with Unix from a command line knows that answer. Yes! And a painful lesson it has been for many of us.
    The real question is, what is your goal?
    If you just want to erase lots of files, then the 'rm' command is available. Once all the files are erased, the rm command will be one of them, and so that is the end of the game. You will not be able to execute any more commands. The file system is still there, and the data in all those files is still on the disk, you have just eliminated the easy way to access that data (via file names).
    If you want to initialize a new file system on the disk, you could most likely do that (diskutil - it will be the last command you run from the terminal, but you could most likely do it). Again, the data is still there, but the file system structure that held all the names and allocation information has been eliminated.
    If you want to securely erase the disk, that is also possible (diskutil), and again, that will be the last command you will run from the terminal. Now nothing is left behind, neither data nor file system structure.
    What sort of command would/could allow this?
    rm and diskutil come to mind (in combination with sudo).
    You could also just boot from the installation DVD, and then from the Menu select the Disk Utility and erase the disk as well as give it a new file system. And since you are running from the OS stored on the DVD, you can do other things after the Disk Utility is finished.

  • Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?

    Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?
    I used LiveCycle Designer to make a pdf form with many checkboxes. When I deleted a few of the checkboxes the rest left on the form renumbered themselves. This made my JavaScript out of sync since the JavaScript checkbox numbers did NOT update automatically. I am hoping there is a preference option to not auto update. I just cannot find it,

    I believe you're using the same name for each checkbox, right?!
    If so, each checkbox has an index number which represents its position relative to the other copies in the XML tree and when you add, delete or reorder the copies the index will always be recreated because thats the way how XML works.
    There is no way to stop Designer from doing this, I'm afraid.
    To address individual objects through JavaScript you should use unique names.

    Hi, can somebody tell me how I delete attachments on an email, but keep the body of text in the email. My email is saved on a server through an IMAP account

  • Why can I no longer delete attachments from received emails??

    A few months ago I could delete an attachment from an email by clicking on the attachment name at the bottom of the email and hitting 'delete', but that no longer works.

    When I right click on the Attachment, a menu comes up with the Delete option.
    Nothing happens when I click Delete -- it gives the pop-up saying that it is 'totally gone if I delete it' -- but then nothing happens. No error messages. The attachment is still attached. I am using 31.1.2
    I just tried it again -- and it now works!!!
    Thanks for your help, David

  • Is  it possible to DELETE the Sub Asset either from BDC/BAPI etc?

    Hi Experts,
    I am guessing, the following idea may work for my problem, but, pls, let me give some info, abt the same.......
    1 - At the sales order creation time, each LINE ITEM creates the SubAsset, say,
    Line_ Item_1 -
    > creates SubAsset_1,
    Line_ Item_2 -
    > creates SubAsset_2, so on
    2 - if some reasons, if the user deletes Line_ Item_1, I need to delete that particlar SubAsset_1,
    so, pls. let me know that,
    1- If the user, deletes the item_1, then I wanna, to delete the created SubAsset_1, so then, I guess, SubAsset_2 shuld be modified as SubAsset_1
    2- Is it works out? makes sense?
    3- If so, Wht is the best method to delete a SubAsset from Asset Master? Is it AS02 BDC or Is there any BAPI or any other?
    thanq.

  • Not possible to delete link investment program position from Appropriation request

    Dear specialists,
    We have a problem with deleting a linked investment program position in an appropriation request (IMA3, IMA11 or IMA12).
    We could edit some of the appr.req.'s but a few give an error.
    Steps done:
    We deleted the status BUDG from the linked projects (budgets deleted and OPSX for deletion of status).
    The we run the IM27_repeat.
    For the most of the appr.req.'s the linke was removed (table IMZO).
    For a few of our req.'s the link is not removed so that we can't link the new progr.pos. to this appr.req.
    Regards,
    Marcel

    Hello Marcel,
    Please check Customizing of the investment program type under 'assignable operative objects' in t-code OIT3 or in following path

  • When I receive email from friends it sometimes comes in with very small print, also attachments also attachments from those emails are in tiny print. Others are fine. Can some one help, please??

    can some one please help me change the font size for incoming emails? some emails are fine others are very small and I cannot change them to read or print?

    Welcome Margaret!
    How are you reading e-mail? in a browser (like Safari) or with a separate mail program like Apple Mail or MS Entourage?
    Entourage and Mail have  'larger/smaller" text commands. In either, typing command + or command - will zoom or shrink the text.
    The same commands work in the Safari browser.
    Much of this comes from people with small-screen devices sending to people with really large screens. I have a friend who asks all his contacts to use a larger font than default when they e-mail him. He has a really cantankerous Windows box that will not let him increase font size in received messages.
    If you have a 27-inch iMac the huge amount of screen real estate may make a lot of text hard to read. That's what I have, and I set the desktop resolution to a smaller number to get larger text. My 27-incher defaults to 2560x1440 and everything is small to my old eyes. I changed it to 1920x1080 and lost none of the sharpness but gained a lot in font size.
    If you want to try this, go to System Preferences > Displays and make sure the "Displays", not "Color" tab is active. Click the round button next to "Scaled" and you'll be offered a selection of desktop resolutions.
    Please let me know if I confused the issue!

  • One to many values relationship

    Hello Everyone ,
    I am working on an exception management project.  I am having some difficulty showing one to many relationship from multiple tables . I used listagg function and was able to use show the one to many relationship via a select query . However , as our application maybe housed on sql-sever , i was told to find a workaround without the oracle specific function. I ll explain the relationship between exceptions and its ids
    Exception 100 has 5 ids which has 2 distinct entity types
    EXCEPTION  ID     ENTITY TYPE
    100               1        SECURITY 
    100               2        SECURITY
    100               3        SECURITY
    100               4        BOND
    100               5        BOND
    The desired output is
    Exception        Entity_type
    100                  Security,Bond
    I have tried to use the case condition in select
    case
    when
    count(distinct link.entity_type_id) > 1
    then
    null  ----------------- ( need to use something in select )
    else
    max(entity_type_def.name)
    end
    Is it possible to do the following
    1) Use a subquery to get comma separated values ?
    2) If option 1 is not possible, any function which can be used in both sql server and oracle ?

    Trying to write a single piece of code to work on different platforms is a sure way to end up with lengthy, complicated and poorly performing code in a lot of cases.
    You would be better having two versions of the code, one written for Oracle to utilize it's power to achieve the task and one written for SQL Server to utilize it's power to achieve the same.
    PL/SQL and T-SQL are completely different languages, and whilst a lot of things are common amongst the SQL functionality, the more complex tasks tend to be better done using their own methods.
    Could you write a single piece of SQL to work on both... yes, in this case I'm sure you could... but "should" you write a single piece of SQL to work on both is probably a better question to ask.

  • Workbench-Cannot Give Joining to One-To-Many

    Hi there,
    i am using toplink workbech 10g release 2(10.1.3.0DP4) build 050715. In workbench, i want to put "use joining" to a one-to-many relationship. Joining can be applied to one-to-many relationships from the java code but in workbench i cannot give joining to the one-to-many relationships. There is no checkbox for that property. I can only check batch reading. Is it true, or is there a problem with my mapping workbench?

    This is true, there is currently no 1-m joining support in the Mapping Workbench, nor can you set this at the mapping level in the code API. 1-m joining can only currently be set at the query level in the code API. Note that in general batch reading for 1-m is more performant than joining, so you may want to consider using it instead.

    Hi Silpa,
       BDOC messages will be stored in the table SMW3_BDOC6 and SMW3_BDOC4. These entries will be deleted from your system at the time of middleware reorganization job execution(Report SMO6_REORG2).
       I hope you scheduled the Middleware reorganization using report SMO6_REORG2.
