Neither. I want to strip the attachments and leave the original message
without the attachments where it is.
The idea is: I get a message with a huge attachment that I want to archive.
I first download the attachment (if I need it) and store it somewhere on my
fs. Then I click on "strip attachments" and the message is still there but
without attachments. Now I can archive the message somewhere in my imap
folder hierarchy without wasting too much space.
