The associated attachments of a message are viewed by pressing > or V, opening the ATTACHMENT INDEX. The undesired attachments can be marked for deletion by pressing D.

Saved copy will NOT include entire message! Continue?
Y [Yes]
N No
If you are sure you want to save the message and exclude the marked attachments, press Y for yes.
